A mother and her six children are left abandoned after her husband decides he no longer desires to be married. Beatrice, being a young, inexperienced mother with a limited education, struggles to keep her family together as best she knows how until she meets Jeffrey. Jeffrey, an older man, steps in, marries her and becomes a father to her children as well as her niece and nephew, who are placed in her care after their mother passes away. As the story continues, the children's evolution into the world of education, careers, sex and romantic experiences are sometimes rewarding, disappointing and even comical! Will their Christian upbringing be enough to guide them in the way they should go or will they side with the devil and continue on the road to destruction?
