Imagine a chilly February morning in Williamsburg, Virginia.  Dr. Neil Masterson, head practitioner of a women's clinic in the Hampton Roads area, is preparing to leave for work when he is gunned down at his front door.  His assassin, a cold, unassuming man named Roy Jeffries, is still nursing emotional scars suffered by the violence of abortion, and he sees violence as his only means of retaliation.  Barbara "Rosie" Fitzgerald also opposes abortion, yet her methods are much more pacifistic.  She retaliates through prayer and through her one-woman rosary ministry, offering complimentary prayer beads to passersby in front of the women's clinic.  Her conservative views have won her the admiration of fellow Catholics, including Father Gary Welker, Chris and Laura Merwin, and cafe owner Lola Marquez, yet they have alienated her from her niece, Carrie Masterson.  The Merwins do their best to instill Christian morals and ethics in their large family, and despite their efforts, are unaware of eldest daughter Monica's unplanned pregnancy.  While she anguishes over revealing her condition or aborting before anyone is wiser, family friend Prefontaine "Pre" Winningham harbors an equally heart-breaking secret: she is unable to conceive.  It is because of this that she feels compelled to ignore the advances of journalism student Larry Jeffries, whose brother Roy harbors an even darker secret.
