Family By Choice

One moment One defining moment For some people, that moment is all one can hope for. What happens when our defining moment is nothing like we hoped for?

A school dance. A new romance beginning to grow. A moment in time that can never be changed. The results are tragic.

It seemed unexpected, yet it wasn’t. Tramp. How does this story move on without one of its founding members? Tramp is as much a part of this family by choice as any member and when the time comes for him to say goodbye, it is a loss nobody saw coming.

Josie is missing. Bill and Julie are frantic. Jack and Stephanie are worried this is the start of something worse.

A Soldier. A Husband. A Father. A Hero. Alone and left behind, hurt and afraid. All Mike wanted was to come back to his girls. All he wanted was to see them again. He never imagined he would be in this position. He needed a miracle.

It began with a meeting in a random conference room. Two people existing, but not living. That meeting started a journey of love, laughter and hope. It has been anything but easy and there have been more tears than either ever wanted to shed. But there has always been love.

A man at his limit. A man with everything to lose. A decision that changes everything.

A frantic moment A terrible accident A moment of regret Another threat

One Man in One Fight One Chance for One Love One Soul for One Heart

A grief unimaginable A love destroyed A union broken A man on the edge

A beautiful spirit. A night of terror. Nothing will be the same.

A soldier. A nurse. A threat from within. A love begins. What happens when your past comes back to haunt you? Or worse? When it goes after those you love? How does a family move forward when a loss threatens to tear them apart? Sometimes, a family is tested and sometimes, it’s simply too much.

An obsession A kidnapping A desperate chase A choice Their friends are missing. They all missed the signs. When Jack and Bill race to find Tommy, they have no idea the extent of the damage they are about to find.

A mother A wife A sister A friend A sacrifice It's time for this to end, one way or another. It's time to take control.

A man of honor A man of integrity A man of courage Born from a monster

Nothing matters. That’s what Stephanie thought. Jack made her realize that she was worth it. That she was his life. That she mattered. Suddenly Jack is faced with a life alone. It’s time to grow up. It’s time to realize that maybe she was right. Maybe nothing matters.

One Moment. One Gunshot. One Decision. One Regret. Courage Lies Within is the story of a family fractured after being pushed to the limit. Sometimes, even when we know what’s right, we still choose a different path. Sometimes, it’s the only way to survive. Sometimes it can have devastating consequences.

A father’s love. A mother’s sacrifice. A family torn. Lives forever changed.
