description: Anita Todd is determined to establish a good life in her hometown of Sweetwell, Oklahoma, where she will direct Good Hope Christian Day School. More importantly, she wants her six-year-old son cured of the nightmares that started when he witnessed his father's drowning.
  
  Regan Moore, Sweetwell's fire marshal, gets off to a rocky start with Anita when he gives her school a failing grade on a fire inspection. Matters grow worse when she learns Regan is the volunteer Big Brother assigned to her son, Tyler.
  
  Will Anita find the assurance of God's love that she craves? Or will fear and pain keep her from accepting that love - and the love of a special man?
