The crying from the airplane bathroom wasn’t what exhausted flight attendant Leslie needed on her cross-country flight. But when she opened the door, she found more than she bargained for – a scared little boy named Ben, clutching medication meant for his dying grandmother.
As Leslie pieced together Ben’s story, she saw reflections of her own struggles. While Ben desperately sought his mother’s approval, Leslie was running from her pain – the ache of being separated from her chronically ill son Joe.
When the airline assigned her to watch Ben overnight, Leslie’s resentment turned to revelation. Ben’s selfless offer to give up his grandmother’s medicine for Joe cracked open her hardened heart.
What began as an inconvenient detour became a transformative journey. Leslie didn’t just reunite Ben with his family – she rediscovered her own. And in a stunning twist of fate, Ben’s grateful family would provide the means to save Joe’s life.
