Christine was only nine-years-old when her troubled mother, Heather, left suddenly. She was devastated and scared, but had the simple trust of a child in Jesus.

Heather had dreams that seemed to disappear the moment she said "I do." She could feel that she was missing something and so she did the hardest thing imaginable: leaving her child.

Daniel, a busy pastor, loved his wife and daughter, but he too felt that something was missing in his marriage with Heather. He could sense the troubled waters building up inside of Heather almost as if it were an aura surrounding her. But what could he do? They were both young and naive when they "tied the knot." He was unsure what to say or do around her knowing that one wrong word or action could upset her. And he didn't think God would help him, one lone man in a world full of many others, so he stayed silent.

God was not, however, contrary to what both Heather and Daniel thought. God knew each heart and worked night and day to lead and comfort each of them throughout their struggles and mistakes. Step into the world of this family and experience how God leads those who think they have gone too far. Through the sunshine and the rain, God leads His own to love, forgiveness, and hope for tomorrow.
