Autumn Dawn has learned to deal with her dyslexia and her life is starting to look better, but a horrible accident threatens to change everything. When her mother and brother are crossing a street, they are accidentally hit by a car. Autumn's little brother is okay, but her mother ends up in intensive care. Autumn's father, who had walked away from his family a while ago, leaving them to fend for themselves, is now back in their lives and trying to make amends. When Autumn's mom is released from the hospital, she still needs help, so Autumn's dad moves back home. Can Autumn ever forgive her father for leaving his family in the first place, or will she continue to be angry and resentful? Is it possible for her to trust any man, including her devoted boyfriend? Finding forgiveness within yourself is the first step in building trust.
