Struggling with her rebellious daughter and her conflicting feelings for a soul-seeking priest and a cynical man, cardiologist Madelaine learns to overcome past betrayals when a tragedy brings them all together.

At sixteen, Lina is fast becoming a stranger to her mother, and desperate to find the father who walked away before she was born. While priest Francis DeMarco is always ready to lend a helping hand, his brother, Angel, abandoned Madelaine and fatherhood to go in search of fame and fortune as an actor. Then Angel reappears and seeks help from the very people he betrayed-- as a patient in dire need. -- adapted from back cover
