The Story
Six months pregnant and living in a beat-up tiny mobile home, Wanda LeFauve thinks she has found the solution to her problems when she agrees to meet well-to-do Rachel Luckman and her husband. The childless Luckmans are desperate to raise a baby and Wanda is anxious to find a home for her latest. They strike a deal, but as the birth parents and the potential adoptive parents get to know each other, fundamental differences emerge.
