When a pregnant widow returns from the mission field family and friends rally to help, but she harbors a secret that may lead to her spiritual downfall. Kim Macomb returns from Zaire, Africa where the 1995 coup has claimed her missionary husband's life. Grief-stricken and pregnant, Kim is only a shadow of herself. Hoping to promote her daughter's healing, Carol sends Kim, to the calm, godly man who once rescued her. Jack's Montana ranch seems to have the desired effect, but as his son, Mitch, and bad boy Hank vie for Kim's affections, an agonizing secret drives her further from God. Swept up in Kim's search for peace and forgiveness, those around her face their own frailties and the sometimes unexpected, yet overwhelming truth - God's love is most gentle.
