Gentle-natured recent ex-Marine Chris Dempsey works in a nursery, but feels he still has a higher calling to save lives, so volunteers for live organ donation. Hesitantly, teacher Heather Krueger, who is sure to die without Chris's 'spare' kidney, agrees to meet him, still unaware he has already tested compatible and signed up. They immediately strike a friendship, which naturally grows after the successful transplant. Chris becomes a virtual member of the Krueger family, only there are doubts what's appropriate, but in time their love blossoms at the altar.—KGF Vissers
