Sarah Whitney and Todd Orin have known each other since they were kids.
When they grow up, they get married, because they both realize they're serious about each other; it's a feeling of love and not just a special friendship anymore.
Sarah's a Christian who was raised in a godly home. Todd's not saved, and he was raised in a broken home.
His mother is mentally ill; his father is abusive; and he doesn't know his older sister.
Todd has a mental illness, too. And he has manic/hypomanic and depression episodes sometimes, which saddens and scares Sarah when that happens.
When Sarah has a baby boy whom they name Curtis, and when he gets older, he longs for a normal, happy dad.
Soon, Curtis and Todd both seem to drift away from Sarah's life, and she feels hopeless that they'll come back and show each other the love they once had for each other.
But God is always there for all of them. Sarah tries not to run away from God. In fact, this is a chance for her to grow closer to Him, and trust His plans for her are good, because they are (Jeremiah 29:11).
Will she remember that? And not lose hope? And will she remember that they are all in His hands? And will she trust Him and realize that He can fix things in a way she could never have imagined?
