Plot
The story centers around a foster family made up of a group of misfits. Esther Hobbes (Ellen Bry) is left alone and widowed after her husband's death, but she learns to find peace within herself and use her faith and belief in the inherent good in all people to help those in need.
With nothing but the house her husband bought for her before he died, she decides to sell the home and move to Jackson, Georgia. The new house she moves to is home to five foster children: Crystal, the daughter of a drug addict (and named after crystal methamphetamine), Jasmine, a mute child with past trauma, Justin and Terry, two troubled teens, and Max, whose mother does not love him.
Through God and her growing relationships with the children, Esther begins to find courage to save the house. She soon discovers the house is a historical building, and with the help of the children and their parents they save the home. Esther then finds investors willing to fund her new goal of building more homes for foster children. At the end of the movie, Jasmine speaks to Esther after years of being silent, and tells her "Thank you."
