Nora, a devout Baptist, is horrified with Tess's decision. After receiving counceling, Tess decides adoption is better than abortion until the baby is placed in her arms. Tess decides to keep little Tansy Aster and returns to her mother's home.

Tess's lowlife boyfriend "borrows" a car and finds Tess. Ben finds Tess' boyfriend roaming outside the house, unshaved, unwashed. Tess' convinces her parents not to call the police until they at least talk to him. Typical Mom, Nora, feels that he also looks hungry decides to feed him during the chat. The boyfriend convinces Tess to leave the baby and return to their home.

Nora and Ben are appointed guardians of Tansy and life is sunshine and roses. Years later, Tess has a change of heart and kidnaps her child.

Now with a child between them, Tess and Nora must trust God and that his love conquers all.
