Résumé :
Is everything fate or is there another hand meddling in everyone's lives. Some people blame God for the misfortunes they may experience but He doesn't make things happen to you....if there is a lesson to be learned, He may let it happen and trust that something good will come out of it and you learn from the message. But how can Don and Beth and Libby and Kyle and all the others suffering through these events trust that something good will come out of their experiences? Whose hand is it in? How can you ever prepare for these things? And whoever said, don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see. Not in this case. Don and Beth just want a normal life and to be happy and raise a family. It's a good thing that they love each other in a way most people don't because sometimes it can be a life or death situation that will be the deal breaker and if you love with the intensity that these two do, who knows what length you would go to save that one person. And just how many times can you pick up the pieces and start over? Billy bang bang and Mr. Jingles know the true meaning of survival. A war veteran and a homeless bum who have slipped through the cracks of society were fortunate enough to have found each other giving each one a purpose and meaning to the life they were now dealt with. Misery loves company. Stay away from the seer.... she is evil they say. You'll be cursed if you mingle with this one. She knows everything and she will trip you up if she can. Just run her out of town.... that's how we'll deal with her. Beth's older brother Josh is a corporate lawyer who owns his own office and has many people working under him. He has let his money go to his head and has spread his egotistical ways on to his wife and children creating themselves as one of the most unliked families in their hometown. But money or not they still have their own disgusting dirty little secrets. Maybe we all have dirty little secrets.
