After she finds that she is incapable of carrying children, Alexis Jackson – a child psychologist – loses her faith in God. Her husband may be a pastor, but not even he can reconcile her heartbreak and the hopelessness she feels as a result.

Caroline Woods is eighteen, living on the streets and trying to keep her and her dog, Pongo, alive. A woman finds them on the street one night and offers them a bed for the evening. Caroline can’t refuse, especially since she knows Pongo is cold. The next morning, Amanda Wills decides to partner Caroline up with her friend Alexis, who desperately wants a child of her own. The two hit it off and it isn’t long before Alexis welcomes Caroline to her family with open arms.
