Wealthy,
businessman Roger Landers was often annoyed by the sight of homeless people outside his office, but one day he noticed a young woman, Emma, who transformed when someone dropped a coin in her cup. Her radiant smile lingered in his mind, prompting him to learn her story.
Intrigued, Roger approached her, offering coffee and food. Emma revealed her heartbreaking tale: she had been conned by a charming boy and ended up homeless in L.A. Roger was moved by her grace and intelligence, promising to help her return home to Idaho.
He bought her clothes, a suitcase, and a bus ticket. As she boarded the bus, Roger felt a sense of loss. Realizing he was in love, he drove to Preston to find her. When their eyes met, it was clear they belonged together.
Just weeks later, Emma returned to L.A. with Roger, and they married by year’s end. Together, they worked to help runaways find their way home, showcasing the transformative power of kindness and unexpected love.
