Mary Catherine knows she needs a heart transplant, but she tells no one. She defies her doctor and travels to Uganda to work at an orphanage. She wants to spend her remaining time helping children, since she will never have her own. The move also puts distance between her and Marcus Dillinger, the Major League Baseball player she fell in love with. Mary Catherine cuts off contact with Marcus and her friends Tyler Ames and Sami Dawson. She refuses to reveal how serious her condition has become. Marcus senses something is deeply wrong. After months of silence, he receives a letter that sends him racing to find her. Meanwhile, Tyler and Sami plan their wedding, but shocking news disrupts everyone's plans. Angels work behind the scenes to help, though not every mission they undertake will succeed. Mary Catherine faces an impossible choice between the love she found and the time she has left.
