As a young girl, the loss of Nell's mother changes her life forever. The youngest in her family, Nell sees her father change and grow distant under the influences of two stepmothers.

New dreams are formed, however, and as Nell's life unfolds, she begins to see a plan for it all. Through love, loss, and pain, she garners strength through hope, trust, and most of all, faith.
