PLOT

Newlyweds Tim and Molly Hartford experience heartbreak after a miscarriage and struggle to find healing. Kristin is a young girl with dreams of getting married, going to college, and becoming a nurse, but her boyfriend, Bo whom she lives with refuses to support her dreams. After he discovers her unexpected pregnancy, she refuses to get an abortion and he kicks her out of his home. With nowhere to go, Kristin is forced to get a local job and live on the streets, until she meets Tim and Molly who take her into their home. Tim's parents visit frequently and his mother disapproves of their choices, adding more stress to their new marriage. Kristin asks Tim and Molly to adopt her baby when it's born, knowing they can provide it with a loving home. With Tim and Molly's assistance, Kristin is able to get her GED and begin a new life, and Tim and Molly can plan again to start their family. Trouble begins when Bo returns and wants Kristin back and her baby.
