Emily's cat became her best friend ... Until she made a friend halfway around the world. With Rishat as a pen pal, a relationship grew from letters and messages, between two women who began to find emotional love that burned deeply in their soul.

But Rishat has a husband and a daughter to be concerned about. Would leaving them to start a new life in America be a good decision? Making this decision would be the hardest of her life.

And would bringing Rishat and her daughter to America be the best decision for Emily? There is also Emily's estranged brother who, lost and scared, needs to be found and brought home.

Emily is a child and family counselor and usually a strong, solid person but lately, her emotions are getting difficult to control.

Life is full of difficult choices, hardships, and loneliness but to find someone to share the journey is a gift from God.

Finding her way back to faith, Emily saw the best choice would ultimately bring her everything she ever wanted.

This is a story of various situations and relationships, including single, gay, married, family, work, interracial, and homeless. We see the choices we make don't always lead us in the direction we expect.
