Anticipating her second grandchild’s birth, Colleen Gallagher puts life on hold to lend a helping hand. But when she arrives at her daughter’s out-of-state home, she’s surprised to discover that it’s not just the newborn who’s in need of constant care. Her son-in-law is battling ALS.

Strengthened with unconditional love, Colleen commits herself to share in the joy of new life and brighten the precious moments of a life fading too soon. As each new challenge tests her resolve, she fights the gathering gloom with humor and a resolve to see things through to the end. When her caretaking duties push her to the brink of exhaustion, Colleen must make an impossible choice: leave them alone in their suffering or risk her own well-being to keep the family from falling apart.
