Your brother needs a new kidney. You're a perfect match. Would you do it?
Cherie Hollister struggles to raise her three daughters alone after her husband's tragic death. Now her mother is begging her to be tested as a potential kidney donor for her brother, making Cherie confront the anger and pain of their past. Her faith tells her to forgive but every maternal instinct in her body rails against forgiving the man whose negligence has left her 8-year-old daughter scarred for life.
Will Finnegan is a chief resident in the Emergency Room having left behind a successful law career to pursue medicine.

When he meets her again at a fundraiser for the Burn Center, she questions him about the safety of transplant surgery, and Will wants to help her make the most important decision of her life.
Will must navigate his growing feelings for the young widow even as Cherie struggles to make the right choice for her family. Can Cherie find it in her heart to forgive her brother and save his life?
