Leah was nine months pregnant, uneasy but hopeful as she and her husband, Greg, drove to his mother’s birthday. When her water broke on the icy road, Greg’s reaction turned cruel. Furious that she was “ruining” the day, he threw her hospital bag into the snow and drove off, leaving her alone in the cold.

Barely conscious, Leah prayed for help. A retired truck driver named Nathan found her, rushed her to the hospital, and stayed until she safely delivered her son, Max. In the weeks that followed, Nathan became her rock—visiting daily, offering food, comfort, and kindness.

Leah divorced Greg, moved in with Nathan, and rebuilt her life. Love blossomed quietly between them, and when Nathan asked her to marry him, she said yes—finding in him the family she and Max had always deserved.
