Kayla has always defined herself by compassion. As a devoted Christian and the kind of neighbor who never turns away, she’s quick to help when others are in need. But when tragedy hits the family next door, her faith is tested in ways she never saw coming.

Stephen, a lively five-year-old with a habit of chasing his soccer ball into the street, ignores one warning too many. The accident that follows leaves him paralyzed, and his parents reeling. Kayla steps in as their steady hand offering time, resources, and comfort to help Stephen find hope again.

It’s through those long days that she meets Chuck, Stephen’s older brother. Protective, resilient, and carrying his own burdens, Chuck slowly becomes more than a partner in responsibility. Love grows between them, deep enough to carry them into marriage and the promise of a future built on faith.

But when Chuck is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, Kayla is left staring down another loss she can’t imagine surviving. With her heart breaking and her faith unraveling, she begins to ask questions she once feared: How much suffering can love endure? And when life keeps taking, how do you still trust God’s plan?

A story of devotion, heartbreak, and grace where is hope found when everything feels lost?
