Single mother Lauren Woodman returns to Vermont to renovate her family’s historic property and open an antique and art gallery.

When Lauren crashes her car into a snow bank, she is rescued by a longhaired man she assumes is a homeless wanderer. Wes Evans is actually an ex-missionary who considers himself a failure for buckling under in the face of persecution and imprisonment for his illegal missionary work in the Middle East. He senses God has sent him to Vermont to help Lauren and her son, but he is torn by his desire to keep his past a secret. As their friendship deepens to romance, Wes is forced to make difficult choices that involve great sacrifice in order to protect Lauren and her son. Lauren and Wes discover new dimensions of God’s grace and forgiveness as they put their love, their faith, and their very lives on the line for each other.
