Meet Jake McDonald, a businessman at McDonald Ranch who’s on the brink of giving up. It’s not enough that his family business is so deep in the hole that Jake is afraid he’ll never dig out—his wife Janet, the love of his life and mother to Jake’s infant daughter, has also asked for a trial separation.

Feeling like he’s losing everything he’s ever loved, all Jake can do is pray. And his prayers are answered, it seems, when he and Janet begin to reconcile. Then a crisis threatens baby Mary’s life and Jake and Janet are once again torn asunder.
