A Sweetbrook family

the long version

Ten-year-old Daniel has had a rough year. His mother's unexpected death has landed him in the custody of his uncle, elementary-school principal Joshua White. And though Josh is a pro when it comes to dealing with other people's kids, he can't get through to Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel's classmate Becky isn't having a great time, either. Her mother, Amy Loar, left a troubled marriage and is now fighting to rebuild her career in Atlanta while Becky stays with her grandmother in Sweetbrook. As they try to help Becky and Daniel, Amy and Josh find themselves thrown together and forming an unexpected bond. Could coming together as a family be just what all of them need to heal?
