When your world is blown apart, is it possible to put the pieces back together? For sisters, Liz (nine) and Ellie (seven), a beautiful summer day turns dark as they watch a tornado claim their mother's life. A traumatized Ellie stops speaking, but Liz forges ahead with life. She moves away to earn a PhD in meteorology and designs a revolutionary storm warning system with her husband Matt. Emotionally scarred Liz eventually leaves Matt and her life's work, to live with Ellie and daughter Becky. Liz and Matt are thrown together at a meteorology symposium, where it becomes clear that deep feelings remain between them. Matt invites Liz to watch their fully developed technology in action, but the triumph is marred when they track a tornado heading their way. The twister whips towards Liz's family farm. Rushing to save Ellie and Becky, they discover that love proves stronger than any storm when Ellie finds her voice in order to rescue her niece. less
