PREMISE
To say that they were cursed or unlucky in some way would not be quite incorrect.
What they've been through is so unbelievable that their friends marvel about what they did to deserve it. Those family and friends have wondered if they are being punished for something that a disobedient, unruly or rebellious ancestor did.
Nathan, Haley and Jamie Scott. A family of three that has been through enough pain in several years that some are fortunate to have never encountered. A family of three whose life together seems to have been marked by one form of tragedy or another.
It started a few years ago with a racetrack accident. It was followed by a train accident. Then a bus accident. And in two of the three, a little boy is left with only one of his caregivers.
A little boy with wide eyes like his mother's, but a stunning cerulean to her striking muddy-brown. A little boy with dark-blonde hair that is deepening to black like his father's. A little boy with a warm smile, a big heart and a joyous spirit. A little boy who has experienced pain that a child of four, any child no less, should never have to face.
It was the beginning of the summer after college graduation that yet another misfortune struck that Scott family. . . . .
