A foundling is left on the back porch of the home of a loving, devoted teacher, Miss Angelisa. Soon this gift from heaven becomes a nightmare. The foundling is placed in an old school building reminiscent of the dreadful Russian orphanages. It is from there that the foundling is abducted and sold on the Baby Black Market. Pain, sorrow, and despair become Angelisa's companions for the rest of her life while searching for this baby.
Later, this search, this quest for the abducted foundling, becomes a most daunting responsibility for Angelisa's sons and a recently met stranger, not only to find to find the baby, but also to find his birth mother.
