Cricket Stafford spends her last dollar on a lottery ticket, knowing the furniture store she works for can't stay in business much longer, and her family frowns on gambling. The next morning the town is buzzing with the news that someone in Hazlett won the lottery. After church, Cricket and her brother Bill get a newspaper and are stunned to see that she has the winning ticket.

Her first move is to go to the town's best lawyer, instead she finds his son, also a lawyer recently home from a disappointing stint in Washington. Mark realizes that he's found the opportunity to change the world in his hometown.

Cricket faces resistance in a community sharply divided by economics even more than by color.

Haley Hawthorne is a successful Art Director at a high-powered greeting card company in Manhattan. Designer clothes and expensive material luxuries are what she uses to try and fill the emptiness inside -- but it wasn't always that way for her.

Orphaned at a young age, Haley was raised in rural Dunbar Falls by her Uncle Nelson amid pasture lands and a clear sense of the things that matter most in life, including her joyful relationship with God.

One day Aaron Carrier, her old friend from Dunbar Falls pays her a surprise visit to her office at Sterling Greeting Cards with devastating news about Uncle Nelson. When she returns home to Dunbar Falls, Haley is faced with a professional decision upon inheriting Uncle Nelson's air-conditioning company. More than that, she faces a crossroads in her heart. It is a crisis of faith, of loyalty and of love.

What does God want her to do? Will she be able to return home to Dunbar Falls and all that it has meant for her? And will Aaron Carrier be more than a friend?
