The Accident

Grace Keller is on her way home for Christmas break. She's got everything going for her: she's a committed Christian; she's graduating with her Doctorate soon; she's about to become engaged; and her older sister (and best friend) is about to announce that she's pregnant with twins. As Grace nears her parents' home on a dark, rainy Christmas Eve, a terrible accident happens. Eight-year-old Scarlet Rein runs out in front of her car, gets hit, and dies a few hours later in the emergency room.

Scarlet's parents, Rick and Maxine, are not Christians. Will the accident help, or further hinder, their search for a relationship with God?

Maxine's mother, Victoria, has never been comfortable around Maxine's husband. Maxine didn't marry money, and Scarlet was adopted because Maxine couldn't conceive. How will Scarlet's death affect their relationship?

Uncle Charlie is Maxine's uncle. He adores Maxine. How does Scarlet's death affect him?

Maxine has a secret that she's ashamed about. Victoria has a secret that she's ashamed about. Uncle Charlie has a secret that he's ashamed about. Will Scarlet's death allow them to work through their shame and be able to start a relationship with Jesus Christ?
