After the Snow Falls is a story about hope and the power of forgiveness. It’s a story about Celia Bennett and her eight-year-old son Caleb. In the middle of a soccer drill, in an awful, awkward moment, Caleb lands on his face and chest in the grass. The diagnosis blindsides Celia, bringing her face-to-face with every parent’s worst nightmare.

Desperate to save her son’s life, Celia pursues a cure through alternative medicine, but her quest ends in frustration and disappointment. Facing despair, hope walks in on the most unlikely set of legs, when her father returns after a 30-year absence. Can she release pain to embrace hope? Will it make a difference, or is it too late?
