5 parts Ongoing Some kids need a leash. Some need a crib. All of them need someone who won't let go.
In a quiet, ivy-clad house at the edge of town, Jake and Sarah Carter run Second Chances, a last resort for the kids no one else can handle. Jake, a former runaway turned master of unconventional methods, believes in the art of control-whether it's folding a diaper with surgical precision or teaching a greyhound to weave through agility poles. Sarah, with her dancer's grace and uncanny intuition, tempers his severity with warmth, turning chaos into connection.
When Fin, a fiercely independent boy with a knack for bolting, and Theo, a fragile four-year-old clinging to silence and security, arrive on their doorstep, Jake and Sarah face their greatest challenge yet. Through diapers that double as armor, late-night Lego builds, and the unbreakable bond of a rescue greyhound named Comet, they guide the boys toward trust, stability, and the promise of a forever home.
But as Fin's walls begin to crumble and Theo's words start to flow, Jake and Sarah must confront their own fears: What happens when the kids they've fought so hard to anchor are ready to sail on without them?
The Art of Holding On is a heartwarming, heart-wrenching tale of love, resilience, and the messy, beautiful work of building a family.
