Bella has just found out she is pregnant but on the day that she plans to tell Jeffrey, he tells her that he is marrying someone else. Willow Bend is a small town; the kind of place where everyone knows everyone else's business. Falling pregnant out of wedlock is certainly frowned upon - and gossiped about - but adoption is not an option for Bella and so she sets out on her own to start a new life somewhere else.
In Santa Monica a beautiful friendship is forged for life. Sophia - at five months pregnant - has lost her police officer husband in a shootout and have converted his hobby room above the garage into a small, cozy apartment - perfect for Bella and her expected baby. Two single mothers with limited funds and a background in sewing starts making little outfits for their daughters. Over the next few years their survival skills / hobby turns into something neither of them could have dreamed.
