Sometimes, the people who drive us the craziest are the ones who love us the most.

Gwen is having a very bad day. Her brothers have stolen her favorite dolly and hidden it high up in a tree, and to make matters worse, her parents only laughed when she told them. Sitting in the garden with a frown, Gwen decides she hates her brothers, her mom, and her dad. They just don't understand her.

But as she sits in her wheelchair, nursing a broken leg, her mind begins to wander. She starts to remember all the times her family has been there for her-the times her brothers pushed her around the garden when she couldn't walk, the time they helped her father oil her wheelchair so she could move on her own, and the magical birthday party they threw for her dolly.

When a sudden accident leaves one of her brothers hurt and bleeding, Gwen's anger melts away. Without a second thought, she rushes to his side with her tea towel, proving that when it really matters, she is the first one to help.

Join Gwen in this heartwarming tale of sibling rivalry, family love, and the importance of looking past our frustrations to see the love that surrounds us.
