Kate, Gemma and Caroline Tucker have grown up to be three very different women but with a bond that only sisters experience.

Above all, he taught them to follow their dreams.

Kate, as a talented horsewoman was born to take over the ranch while Gemma escaped the Valley for a new life in Hollywood and is now the star of a major long-running TV drama.

When tragedy strikes, family secrets are revealed, and the three girls separately have to face some tough and heart-breaking decisions. But they face the crises together and discover that sometimes you have to go through the clouds to find the sun.

Ultimately, they come to recognize that they are their father's daughters and they understand the special gift that he gave them.
