More DescriptionEvery action a person takes creates a reaction in another person's life. But can something so small really shatter the world into a thousand pieces and change one's future? Dougan desperately wants to get home to give his dying wife one last kiss, sensing her suffering will soon be over. Ray longs for a healing touch in his relationship with his distant children, but focuses every ounce of his love on Edna-his one security in this world. Christina hides from her past, while starting a bright future with her fiancé Mel. And Holly ... oh, how the past year has brought her into womanhood. Her relationship with Hayden marked so many firsts in her life, and her friendship with Eric ... poor Eric.A breeze wafts from the woods and nudges at the yellow flower, rolling it over. The flower yawns at the touch. The breeze blows harder until the flower brushes against Holly's knee. She picks it up and stands it against the cross in front of her. Her mind rushes over the past events of this year, as if the breeze were swirling her thoughts, touching the stories of these people that mingled with her now broken life. They were all so connected by the tiny pieces that Holly grasped at to put together with her own. How did all this happen? Each person made a choice, out of love, and as their lives unfold they begin to understand why that choice was made. Is it possible that fate brought them together to create a lasting bond-to take that single puzzle piece and create something so beautiful and fragile-to present it to the world as a masterpiece?
