Amber never wanted children. When three unruly and nasty stepchildren are dumped on her doorstep, she explodes. Her lazy husband thinks she should just take them without complaining. The children wreck her neat house and break her beloved Gram’s favorite mirror. Her kind heart won’t let them starve or go back to the drunken mom. Her childhood memories won’t allow it. She falls back on memories of Gram, the only adult who cared when she was young. Gram taught her love and survival then.

The kids try her patience, but she is firm with discipline and lavish with love.
Ashamed of two failed marriages, she swears off men and builds a wall around her heart, until …
