Melanie Esther Gresham is a divorced single mother who is struggling with many things: anxiety, finances, anger, etc. Within a year's time, she has lost two close friends and her grandfather. Her grandmother, with whom she's extremely close to, has Alzheimer's that has progressed rapidly. Mel, although a very faithful woman, is like many other Christians and struggles with understanding God's will; she's always secretly wondering, Why did God let this happen? Her daughter Journey is her entire world and quite an outgoing and spunky young lady. Although Mel used to be those things herself, the anxieties and responsibilities of being a single mother along with the pain and suffering from her divorce and the loss of many loved ones has truly taken a toll on her. After rushing to the hospital to meet her mother because Grandma's condition has suddenly worsened, she stumbles into what seems to be a dream world. There, she walks through her old childhood home (which burned down decades before), and she meets and visits with many special people (that are no longer living). Each of them offers her stories and advice that help her with the things that have cause her to be so careworn.
