Brian, Gabe's younger brother with Down syndrome, would be left alone with nobody to care for him without this sacrifice from Gabe. With the brothers not knowing each other very well, and with them forced to sell their farm to a new, mysterious owner while they stay on as caretakers, their future and that of the farm looks incredibly bleak. Only a miracle can save them.After Gabe and Brian form a close, unbreakable bond while building their new caretaker's cottage on the property, they nervously await the arrival of the farm's new owner. The new owner steps out of a limousine and into their hearts, strolling down Winslow Farm's main road with cornflower blue eyes and a familiar song on her lips. The young and vibrant, twenty-something, bluegrass-singing star Joy Thomas has purchased Winslow Farm as her escape from a crazy life as a rising star in Nashville.

Slowly, they build a loving family at Winslow Farm. And throughout it all, people discover that Gabe possesses a unique, otherworldly talent that might help him keep the farm safe from evil forever. But will Gabe fully realize this talent in time to do so, or will tragedy strike the farm again?

While in the maternity home, she makes forever friends, develops her singing voice, and watches as her beloved brother falls in love with her best friend. In order to avoid the stigma of her conception, Missy decides to put her child up for adoption. Now an adult, she must overcome the rape that haunts her while trying to navigate a love life of her own.

Cathy is abused by unloving and uncaring parents and is used by the pimps who say they are offering her a path to the college education she dreams of completing. She is only fifteen, so she doesn't understand that all those people are trying to use her until she is raped, beaten, and left for dead.
