Summary -- To give you summary

Helen Harris's carefree life is turned upside down after the death of Lindsay. She becomes responsible for her late sister's children: 15-year-old Audrey, 10-year-old Henry, and 5-year-old Sarah.

Convinced she can raise the kids and maintain her already fast-paced schedule, Helen quickly finds herself burnt out and disheartened by her older sister's lack of faith.

Despite her already hectic schedule, however, Helen finds the time to develop a genuine affection for her new dependents, as well as an equally genuine attraction to Pastor Dan Parke, the kids' school principal and local pastor.

Eventually Helen realizes she can't balance the two lives, and is faced with a difficult decision.
