A traumatic relationship and failed childhood family has left Samantha Bridges to scramble at re-setting her life. In spite of re-building a budding career as a Social Worker by helping children find trust and love in their own futures, she begins to think about her own life.

The only survivor of her home life, Samantha struggles with giving into faith and the turmoil that comes with believing a God with all the pain. After spending twenty-eight years taught by the world around her, Samantha questions all that she knows and loves. 

In the sheriffs department is where a friend works. A friend who has spent his whole life planting seeds for God. Trevor Adams is the example of a Christ centered man. In spite of his first reaction to the skittish and often invisible Samantha, Trevor feels a connection and a calling from God.

The only Christian in his home, Trevor makes a pact to never leave someone behind and help them grow in faith first. After spending thirty years exposed to the world around him, Trevor embraces all that he knows and loves.

*Only rated Mature (M) due to the circumstances in which children have/can face violence and the descriptions within this story of said violence. #Clean for romance-wise*

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.
