Megan Alladee experienced this firsthand when at age nineteen, she was sexually assaulted by a combat veteran on the day they met and became pregnant as a result. Fearing it was her only option, she got an abortion but soon became overwhelmed by the guilt of killing the baby she wanted and would have loved. Years later, Megan has founded a group that aims to eliminate abortion due to unplanned pregnancy. While on this path, tragedy strikes again and brings her into the life of Kayla Dean, who loses her seven-month-old son Danny in a traffic accident. Even amidst her overwhelming grief, Kayla begins to share with Megan about the Lord and a faith Megan never knew. Will Megan be able to reconcile her life's pain with the notion of a God who loves her yet allowed it all to happen?
