Life may deliver a series of struggles, but as Scott Andrews comes to realize, if you thoughtfully choose those who stand beside you, you never walk alone.

Leaving the sheltered cocoon of his conservative upbringing, Scott eagerly explores the freedoms of college in the 1970s as he delves into a lifestyle of partying and sex. But the party ends abruptly when Scott's girlfriend becomes pregnant and leaves him.

Devastated by her choices, and questioning the lifestyle that he has been leading, Scott sees only one way forward—to return to his hometown and begin his life anew.

For real estate agent Sally Johnson, her father's abandonment left a scar on her soul, making the young woman a target for the advances of a much older employer. Now, with a child born of the affair, Sally is determined to protect her heart and her daughter.

Having rebuilt their lives, the one thing Scott and Sally are missing is someone to love. When fate intervenes, bringing the pair together by chance, it sets in motion a lifelong love. But even soulmates must face heartache, disappointments, and hard choices.

And as they continue their journey through the decades ahead, both must decide what it means to be a family, and if choosing to love is really enough.
