Carli Garron owns a day care center; she meets architect Quinn Kinkaid and his distressed small son, Damon, on a city bus.

Quinn, in town to oversee the building of a new shopping mall, is thankful to find a qualified caretaker for his motherless son during his assigned time there. Divorced and bitter, Carli has a little girl of her own.

Following a series of delightful encounters, they find themselves falling in love and eventually making plans to marry and live in Quinn's home in Texas.

However, with the sudden arrival of Carli's ex-husband Scott, a wounded war veteran, their plans are ruptured. Quinn returns to Texas disappointed and disillusioned. Carli seems to be as unfaithful as his ex-wife, Sondra, who was killed in a car crash as she was leaving him.

In the aftermath, Carli flounders in the devastation of losing Quinn as well as the peace in her own home. She turns to God for solace. But—an unexpected event frees her.

Is it too late for Quinn? Can a terrible accident reunite them?
