The first section of McFadden's unconventional love story belongs to Campbell. Despite being born to a broken-hearted mother and a faithless father, Campbell still believes in the power of love...if she can ever find it. Living in the same neighbourhood, but unknown to Campbell until a chance meeting brings them together, is Donovan, the little man' of a shattered home - a family torn apart by anger and bitterness. In the face of daunting obstacles, Donovan dreams of someday marrying, raising a family and playing in the NBA.'
