Distraught and doubtful of God by her husband's death, Belinda Simpson takes a job in Missouri as a doctor. Upon her arrival, she and her friend from medical school find the town prejudiced against their orphanage, believing it to be the origin of a disease that is currently spreading through the community. Former orphan Belinda attempts to help the orphans and finds help from one particularly strong-willed girl. She must also heal all the other sick people and defend the orphanage and its residents from the frightened townspeople and the ruthless Ray, all while trying to make some crucial decisions about her life, a possible budding romance, and her own faith.
