Maggie Rose, Jacob Kane's middle daughter, moves to New York City to work at an orphanage, where she nurtures needy children and falls in love with a newspaper reporter whose lack of Christian faith and painful past create various obstacles to overcome- by the grace of God.
Evelyn Wisely has a heart for the orphans of Teaville and works at a local mansion that rescues children out of the town's red-light district and gives them a place to live. But her desire to help isn't limited to orphans. The owner of the mansion, Nicholas Lowe, is willing to help her try to get the women working in prostitution out of the district as well--if she can gain the cooperation and support of local businessmen to go against the rest of the community. David Kingsman has recently arrived in Teaville from Kansas City to help with one of his father's companies in town. While he plans on staying only long enough to prove his business merit to his father, he's shown interest in Evelyn's work and is intrigued enough by her to lend his support to her cause. They begin with the best of intentions, but soon the complications pile up and Evelyn and David's dreams look more unattainable every day. When the revelation of a long-held secret creates a seemingly insurmountable rift between them, can they trust God still has a good plan for them despite all that is stacked against them?
When a series of newspaper articles, telephone calls, and mysterious disappearances result in Benjamin Bloomswell, who has been staying with his uncle in America, being sent to--and having to escape from--a sinister orphanage, he knows he's got to find a way back to England.
