Jessica Langston’s storybook romance turns to tragedy when her husband is killed in the Iraq War shortly before the birth of their daughter Amber. Despite Jessica’s grief, she makes a promise that Amber will live a happy life.

Her pledge is tested when her high-spirited daughter is diagnosed with cancer when she is four years old.  But Amber summons her warrior spirit to help fight the monster—the way she did when one lurked under her bed. After months of harrowing treatments, they hear the magical word…Remission!

Eight years later, Amber is happily on the verge of adolescence when she is told her cancer has returned, and they are thrust back into the nightmare. In spite of this cruel twist of fate, Amber vows she will live her life to the fullest, and they move to the historic town of Placerville, California, at the foot of the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Here, in her favorite place, Amber befriends an orphaned deer she names Jane Doe and meets Nathan, a cute musician. Will she experience her first kiss?  Whatever happens, Amber is determined that her life will play out her way.
