programs.
Sometimes a chance comes along that can change
the course of an entire life – make it right again, make a dream come true –
and when that moment arrives, we grab it and fight with all of our might to
make it happen … or not.
Renowned singer/musician Garry Danzlo has
decided to live a life of seclusion after a debilitating accident destroys his
musical career. Guilt-ridden and stubborn, he wants no part of the holistic
nurse his sister has hired to rehabilitate him. He’s determined to get rid of
her; she’s determined to stay.
Spunky, fun-loving Amanda Fields, widowed after
a loveless marriage, is on a mission for love. More than anything in the world,
she wants to adopt a wheelchair-bound boy named Robbie. When her chance arrives
that will provide her with sufficient funds for the adoption, there’s nothing
to stop her from accomplishing the temporary job in Colorado. But what she has
to contend with is far more than just a difficult patient.
Unexpected
obstacles are suddenly out of her control. The least of her worries is falling
for yet another man who doesn’t love her back.
One Chance, One Moment is a humorous, surprising
and deeply emotional story of love found by two special people – love built on
chances one must sometimes take, but sometimes give as well. Each moment
becomes nourished by the faith of one woman, and eventually, by the dream of
one man.
