A girl born in Vietnam during the Vietnam War is abandoned by her American father there and suffers through abject poverty with her family. But after a series of miraculous events, she and her family immigrate to the United States to start a new life.

There, however, she faces poverty, abuse, neglect, and even attempted murder at the hands of a family member. When she asks, "Why?" God answers her by orchestrating all the events that result in her and her husband opening a youth ranch for rescue horses and troubled children.
