Hunt and Kim Armistead have a happy marriage, successful careers, a fancy home, and a full bank account. They are missing only one thing - a child. Although Kim feels moved to adopt a baby from China, she is disappointed that Hunt doesn't share her enthusiasm. Instead, her husband is focused on becoming the next district attorney in their Southern town. But after a notorious trial spins his plans out of control, Hunt unexpectedly finds healing as he unwillingly follows his wife's lead into international adoption. When the Armisteads journey to China to meet their new baby, Hunt learns the meaning of two words seldom used in a lawyer's vocabulary - grace and forgiveness.
