Synopsis
Samantha Crawford’s life is like a storybook: she’s happily married, living on a beautiful ranch where she keeps her beloved horse, and the stories she’s told and illustrated since childhood have become published books. She senses God's love all around her—just like the little bird in the next book she’s working on. In an instant, however, everything changes when her husband Billy is killed in a senseless act of violence. With the police writing off the case, Sam can’t come to grips with Billy’s murderer roaming the streets as a free man. Her faith—and her will to live—is quickly fading. As she prepares to take matters into her own hands, a death-defying encounter with two children changes everything. Coming to their rescue not only begins a new friendship, it also leads to an unexpected reunion with Joe, her oldest friend from childhood. Once a vibrant dreamer, Joe is now plagued by extreme health issues that have forced him to live on disability in a low-income neighborhood. Despite his difficult circumstances, Joe puts his heart and (dwindling) energy into caring for and loving the fatherless kids on his street. He has become their “Papa” Joe. Seeing the impact Joe has on so many people begins to open Sam’s heart to the possibility that she can rebuild her life. But when evidence indicates Billy’s killer is too close for comfort, Sam’s fragile newfound hope is severely tested.
