Years after a prom–night accident claimed his best friend, Brody Austin decided it was time to stop running and return to Troublesome Gulch, Colorado, to overcome the pain and guilt. Right away, a chance encounter on the ski slopes brought Brody face–to–face with his best friend's kid sister, Faith Montesantos. Boy, was she all grown up! And, yes, the vivacious high school guidance counsellor still missed the older sister she'd lost, but she chose to focus on the joyful memories of their short time together and seemed determined to teach Brody to do the same. He had hoped to conquer the demons of his past, but in Faith he found the key to his future.
