Nancy Lansing reluctantly boarded the plane for Pine City, Florida. The idea of spending six months in a small town - even if it meant collecting a 25,000 dollar inheritance from her uncle - seemed dismal and bleak to this vivacious, young New Yorker.

But life in Pine City holds many surprises. The aunt with whom she had planned to stay dies suddenly after her arrival; Nancy is taken in by the wealthy Mr. and Mrs. T. Dunn Cash; then almost by accident, she finds herself working at Westside Community Church as secretary to the new minister, Jack Warder, an attractive widower with two precocious children.

Struggling to handle problems and responsibilities she had never before encountered, and frustrated with the pettiness of some of the church members, Nancy is guided by the shining memory of a fleeting encounter with her Aunt Bea and the warm, life-changing faith she sees in a mysterious man in a wheelchair.
