When Jake tragically dies in a training accident at his military base, Megan must face some very harsh economic realities. Bills and debt rapidly mount up and all of her friends who offered unwavering support suddenly disappear. Unable to find a job or raise any cash, the bank forecloses on the house and Megan and the kids find themselves out on the street with nothing but each other. Living in a motel, employed as a waitress at a local diner, and facing pressure from social services, things are bleak. Then a ray of light enters Megan's life: Angela. This kindly old woman restores her faith in humanity and teaches her about the greatest gift of all: charity. Her bottomless heart will change the Joseph family forever.
