Josh Martin is a typical high school student living in Southern California. When he and Shayla Gene meet Josh's biggest worries are whether he'll play well on the soccer field and getting his own car. As feelings between the two teenagers ignite, challenges are thrown at both of them. Josh is sure he can handle the chaos; even when his biological father makes his first appearance into his life. But when Shayla faces life-changing health issues that threaten her gymnastics and life as she knows it, her courage falters as she attempts to deal with it all alone. Bonded together by time and the challenge of keeping their relationship God-honoring, Josh and Shayla are inseparable. But when Josh receives an invitation to travel to Colombia, everything begins to change. In this inspirational tale, a tragic event has the potential to either tear a young couple apart or help them realize that with, the help of supportive family and an unyielding faith in God, neither of them will ever have to face life's struggles singlehandedly again.
