Virginia loves her life, living on the farm with her beloved Jonathan and their children, not far from her parents and her grandparents. But what troubles her is the gradual physical decline in Grandma Marty and Grandpa Clark. She cannot imagine life without their welcoming smiles and words of wisdom that arise from their life experiences and solid faith in God.

And their lovely daughter Mindy, who has blessed their home ever since her mother left the tiny child with them, has been encouraged to pray for that mother all these years. Is God answering that prayer, or is the worst nightmare any family could face now upon them?

Virginia is not sure she has the strength or fortitude to truly become like gold refined.
