Anne Sargent sat on her kitchen floor, holding her belly as tears streamed down her face. Her husband, Derek, had left her, calling her a burden. With a baby on the way and three kids to feed, Anne struggled to make ends meet. She took a part-time job, selling her cherished possessions to cover bills, including a vintage stroller she’d kept for years.

Two days after selling it, Anne found the stroller back on her porch with a note. The caller, Grace, was Derek’s new girlfriend, also expecting. Rejected by Derek, she had nowhere to go.

Anne, feeling sympathy, invited Grace to move in, forming an unexpected partnership. Grace helped with childcare, allowing Anne to work full-time. Together, they raised their children in a home full of love. When Derek tried returning, Anne closed the door on him for good, stronger and happier with her newfound family.
