A unique, inspirational adoption story about a woman placing clues in Social Services files hoping her granddaughter, who was placed for adoption, will  follow the clues and find her. Flashbacks of being raped make her face her fears and follow the dreams the rapist stole from her.

In 1982, Ian Weber, who is engaged to be married, confesses to his mother, Anna Weber, that Tara Harper, a girl he used to date is pregnant with his child. His choices are abortion, adoption, marry Tara and break his fiancee's heart, or give Tara the stigma of raising an illegitimate child. Tara wants her baby, but decides on abortion. Anna makes a phone call that results in Tara keeping her baby. However, giving into society and family pressures Tara leaves town to live in secret at a home for unwed mothers until Stephanie is born. Tara invites Anna to see Stephanie before she releases her for adoption. Ian asks Social Services for custody, but is told he has no rights. Anna, asks if she can adopt Stephanie, but is told that a grandparent's only right is to put a letter without identifiable information in it in their grandchild's file. Anna places clues in her letter for Stephanie's file hoping that one day, by some miracle, Stephanie will follow the clues and find her.

The rest of the story, which spans over the course of several decades in what can only be described as a divine intervention, Stephanie and Anna are placed directly in each other's path over and over again. Even though their families are over a hundred miles apart, their lives are divinely intertwined. An effective drama about the tenacity of family love.
