As Ellen addresses Joshs past issues of abandonment, abuse, and dysfunction, she digs deep into her faith to survive in an unfamiliar world. She struggles to understand Gods plan as she discovers Joshs needs. Josh moves into her home, and she and her husband Grant become Mom and Dad to the boy in addition to their own two sons. While other families may have collapsed due to the stress and strain that Joshs issues and presence placed on the family structure, Ellens family held strong.
After all the heart-wrenching struggles Ellen and Josh endure, will Ellens unconditional love be enough to help Josh find and sustain his new life, or will he forfeit it all?
