When a big-city single dad relocates to his small hometown to help his troubled daughter, will he find his own happily-ever-after with the girl next door?

Greenhouse owner Meredith Lawson is eager to buy her uncle's land, including the old family farmhouse. It's the perfect location for the farm-to-table restaurant she and her sister hope to open.

Widowed entrepreneur Zach Gilcroft, desperate to help his unhappy thirteen-year-old daughter, jumps at a chance to relocate to his Missouri hometown. When he finds a lovely historic home with acreage for the solar farm he envisions, he quickly seals the deal. If the move will land him right next door to a girl he almost kissed in high school, it only makes the property more appealing.

When Meredith learns that her uncle has already sold his farm, she tries to regroup, but Zach unwittingly thwarts her at every turn. When he offers to help her brainstorm new options for the restaurant, the two spend more time together, and she discovers that his emotional wounds mirror her own. Attraction begins to grow.

But when she accidentally endangers Zach's daughter, triggering all his past pain, their romance shatters, and Meredith is swamped with guilt. Can Zach and Meredith open their hearts to God's grace, learn the power of forgiveness, and in the process find true love?
