A Helping Hand is a cautionary tale about the perils of giving. Cynthia, a compassionate physical therapist, has devoted her life to helping others-but her generosity can't disguise her aching loneliness. When she meets Donna, a magnetic young homeless woman on her daily commute, Cynthia sees a chance to fill the void by offering kindness and care. But Donna has been waiting for someone exactly like Cynthia-waiting with the patience of a spider for its fly.
