Ruth's reality, everything she thought she had, is crumbling before her eyes.
Her friend, the one who had promised to be there for her always, has abandoned her and now seemingly wants nothing to do with her. The only person in the entire world who loved her for who she was now has forgotten about her in the same way one forgets about an old, discarded toy. She feels so lost, so alone, so forsaken.
Things go from bad to worse until she's not sure she can do it anymore. All the pretending that she's okay, all the fake smiles that hide her tears, all the pain that stabs through her heart like a rusty knife; it's killing her slowly.
In the moment that she hits rock bottom, she makes a decision that changes her life forever.
She puts herself into God's hands and trusts Him with all of her pain, all of her sorrow, all of her hopes, dreams and fears. She finally decides to have faith in Him and His plan for her.
Because where the Lord closes a window, he opens a door.
Ruth is blessed beyond her wildest dreams in the form of Rosemary, a sweet, loving, beautiful, kind-hearted girl who soon becomes her best friend. Ruth's deteriorating life suddenly stops spiraling out of control. The storm is calmed and the waters still.
With an unshakable faith and unconditional love, Rosemary slowly shows Ruth what she's really worth and heals the scars on her friend's battered heart. God works through Rosemary to pull Ruth out of the dark pit she's fallen into; the girl with broken wings is taught how to fly once more.
And it's all because the Lord closed a window and opened a door.
