In Part one, Zakia, part tomboy and part princess, is left alone as a single-parent. Hard-working and determined, she puts her hopes and dreams into her child, her career and her new marriage. Still feeling a void in her life she returns to church but the more she becomes immersed in God, the more her life seems to crumble - until her faith pulls her through. In part two, the story continues with Nikki, Zakia's newly-divorced best friend, who believes her life will improve if she joins a church she has seen on TV. Instead she only find more challenges. Falling for a younger man doesn't make her life easier but she soon realises that where her spirit resides is what truly matters. Finally in the closing section the children, grandchildren and friends of the earlier characters are gathered together for what will prove a very eventful summer - where God will use the children to show the adults what true faith really means.
