Description:  After falling to sleep drunk and smoking, a woman has a chance to change her life and curb her drinking. Realtor Madeline Strong cares about her young family clients. This care masks the pain she feels in her own family life. She continually dismisses her sixteen year old son, Joshua. Unknown to him, it's because she gave up her first son, Paul, for adoption, Paul who was born on the exact same day as Joshua fourteen years earlier when Madeline herself was only sixteen. Madeline's relationship with her mother, Mary, became estranged over what Madeline saw as callousness in her mother over her teen-aged pregnancy. Othniel sends Madeline back as the adoption agent to thirty years prior just before she is about to give birth to Paul. Beyond trying to convince Mary to let Madeline keep the baby, he gets a chance to see how her mother really felt about the pregnancy. Madeline also learns there are longer term consequences to changing history.
