It's a Wonderful Life meets The Shack
Julie, a self-centered "Christian" headed for a shopping binge to New York finds herself sitting next to Jesus on the train. Her charmed life is shattered when she gets off in India and realizes that she must rescue 12 "filthy orphans" living in a garbage dump before she can return to her family.
Each day brings overwhelming challenges of living on the street. While squatting in an alley, going to the bathroom, an orphan, Ravi, steals her designer purse. Ravi, who speaks English, holds the key to her communicating with the orphans.
Can she protect the orphans from a predator who steals and maims children and sends them out to beg? How will God provide food when her wallet is stolen? Can she find safe homes for these needy orphans?
As she begrudgingly rescues the orphans the Lord uses them to rescue her from her own cold heart. Watching Jesus slowly change Julie, this self-focused woman, will surely give us all hope for the future.
