FROM THIS MOMENT

When a search for the owner of a lost ring brings them together, a pair of wounded souls must decide if they can leave their pasts behind and move forward together into a joyful future.

Growing up in foster care, Jase Edgar always dreamed of one day starting his own family—but his fiancée's untimely death shattered those plans and left him feeling rudderless and alone. A change of scenery and a new calling as the youth minister of a small church in Bradleyville, Kansas, should be a fresh start, and at first it is: Jase finds himself embraced by his new community, and kept on his toes by the teenagers it's now his job to mentor. But his loss still haunts him, and he can't seem to set aside his doubts about God's goodness long enough to fully commit to starting over.

Meanwhile, newly-appointed church custodian Lori Fowler is battling her own challenges. Her strained relationship with her father and her struggles with overeating have convinced her she's unworthy of love. The one person who makes her feel good enough is her best friend, Kenzie, a talented weaver who left the Amish community she was raised in to seek a new life. Though she's given up most of her family's ways, Kenzie still weaves, and uses her antique loom to make beautiful rugs out of donated fabric. When she finds a lost ring among a pile of donations, she enlists Lori and Jase to help her look for the owner. The mystery brings all three of them together, but will Jase and Lori be able to look beyond their own pain and realize that the happiness they're searching for might be right in front of them?
