Heath Gladstone feels lost ever since Reverend Begley attacked his cousin his Dad hasn’t allowed him to hang out with Deborah Gladstone. They weren’t in love but dating over the last four years had made them friends. Now his Dad called accusing him of getting Deborah pregnant and demanding he do “the right thing” and marry her. No one will listen that the child isn’t his. What’s a guy to do? When he hears Begley kicked her out he sets out to help his friend. Can love grow out of friendship and a felling of obligation to help? Can a young woman who feels unwanted and a young man who feels the pressures of family and obligations make good parents?
