Dana Kernigan is a 40 year-old working mom and wife

Fourteen-year-old Samantha Rooney wants to belong. She wants to feel wanted and loved. But for ten-plus years, she's belonged to no one but the State of Colorado and the foster care system. After eighth-grade graduation, she's uprooted again, and moved out of the city to Spring Creek, a small mountain town. Traci, Sam's new foster mom, shows her what it might be like to have a normal mom - one that actually cares about her. And while Traci’s teaching Sam essential life skills and self-worth, she too is learning the importance of redemption and second chances. But is Traci too broken to heal? Is Sam too jaded to dream?
