Aprašymas

When is forgiveness more than a word? When is forgiveness an act that becomes a gift of grace?

Cherie Hollister is a widowed mother of three young daughters after the tragic death of her husband in a military training exercise. She is confronted in her tiny apartment by her mother who asks her to be tested as a potential donor for her brother, Jake, a recovering drug addict who needs a kidney transplant. Glancing at eight-year-old Molly, whose scars and hearing loss were brought about by Jake's negligence, Cherie fumes at the request. Her faith tells her to forgive her brother, but can she choose to save the man she has hated since the night of the fire.
