As a young widow and devoted mother, London Elliott is determined to support her two children however she can—even if it's just by delivering newspapers. So when London hears a call for help early one morning, she rushes to Elsie Moffat's aid, an elderly LDS woman who has suffered a heart attack in her home. That selfless act introduces London to new beliefs and new people, including fireman Brad Stevenson.

It also raises a number of questions: Can London reconcile the painful parts of her past and find love again? Why do warmth and kindness seem to emanate from Elsie, who treats London like a loving mother? And why is London so drawn to the photograph of Elsie's son, Ammon?

An unexpected inheritance leads London on a cross-country journey and even more questions. By saving another's life, will London actually find her own?
