Plot

Lydia Porter loves everything about her job as a teacher at Shadrach High School. But recently she's become concerned about one of her students, Shelby Tatum, who seems troubled. Convinced that Shelby's problems go beyond common teenage angst, she confronts her--only to have Shelby accuse Charlie Staines, the popular history teacher, of sexually abusing her. Suddenly Lydia is faced with the hardest decision of her life, for Charlie Staines is not only her colleague, he's her fiancÈ, and the man she believes God sent as the answer to her lonely prayers. But can she stand beside her man in the wake of such suspicion, or must she unflinchingly support the confused and grieving girl whose life will forever be altered by her decision?
