Kenisha Smalls is full of questions for God as she is told
she has cervical cancer that has spread all over her body,
and she is going to die. At only 23, she just doesn't think
this is right. It's not fair to leave three small children
with no one to care for them.
There is no one to care for Kenisha's children because her
mother is an alcoholic, her brother is a crack addict, and
her sister already has four children, no husband and no
job. Her family puts true meaning to the word
dysfunctional. And there are no daddies for her three
children; one is dead, one is in prison and the third is a
crack addict. Could life get any worse?
When Kenisha's son is not picked up from school one day,
the principal, Deidre Morris, takes the child home and
waits for his mom to get her message and come pick him up.
Deidre questions Kenisha about taking good care of her son
and Kenisha unloads on Deidre with all of her problems.
Deidre just doesn't understand the fairness in life either
when Kenisha has three children she can't take care of and
Deidre has been married for seven years, yearning for a
child she can't seem to produce. As their worlds collide,
Deidre's heart is touched, and she decides to share
Kenisha's journey with her, wherever that journey may lead.
She brings Kenisha and her children into her home when
Kenisha can no longer care for herself, and tries to
minister to her both physically and spiritually. Deidre
prays for healing, but also prepares for reality.
Through this journey, both learn that faith is the answer,
whether we live to see the rewards of our faith or not.
They also learn that no one should waste a minute of their
life with bitterness or unfulfilled dreams, because we just
don't know how long we have here on this earth.
This is a very touching story, filled with sadness and
despair, yet also filled with hope and faith. See how God
answers each woman's prayers in His own way and time.
You'll laugh and cry with these two women as they learn how
to live and forgive with grace and dignity. Learning that
lesson for some is a "long time coming."
Faithful Christian Deidre Clark-Morris is a professional
career-minded woman with a loving husband and beautiful
home, but no children. Kenisha Smalls has lived in poverty
her entire life and has three children by three different
men. After learning that Kenisha has inoperable cervical
cancer, the relationship between these two women becomes a
catalyst of hope, leading them both to a place of redemption
and healing.
