In a small town in southwestern Michigan, four lives teeter on the edges of happiness and despair. Emily is a divorced high school English teacher. She has a personal relationship with God; she knows He is a loving, forgiving father. Despite her relationship with Him, Emily can't seem to move beyond the past and a painful divorce that haunts her present, as problems with her ex-husband interfere with her current budding relationship.
Her son, Tom, is twenty-two and was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Because of this, his young wife has left him. Although he has become a Christian, he wonders how he will cope with his uncertain future by himself.
His younger sister, Katie, is twenty and in college. She wants to have faith in God, but she rebels because a caring God would not give her brother Parkinson's. As she struggles with depression, only time will tell whether anyone can help her turn her life around.
Franklin works with Emily at the high school as a social studies teacher. His faith in God is strong, but due to rejection by the person he believed to be his true love, his faith in people is not. He wants to make things work with Emily, but her past may keep them apart. These four people struggle to fix things, but what they must realize is that while they can't solve their problems, God can.
