After Jon Washington's wife dies in an accident, he inherits her uncle's dilapidated Victorian house on a bike trail. He hopes to find peace by following her dream of restoring it as a restaurant. But financial difficulties and construction setbacks add to his stress. At last River's Edge Restaurant opens and Jon is certain healing will begin. But his elderly baker has cancer, his teenaged waitress is pregnant, and his cook isn't trustworthy. Even his fledgling relationship with Kirsten and her young son with autism, only brings guilt. When a fire nearly destroys the restaurant, Jon is devastated. Will he turn his back on the place and the people that have brought more pain than healing, or will he turn to the only One who has the power to heal?
