Kiersten Miles is a girl who, in order to maintain herself while studying, works as a babysitter in her hometown. 

One day, through acquaintances, she was brought in contact with a family who needed someone to take care of their three children but who in particular, did not have any problems in dealing with a child with a difficult health condition.

So, it was in this way that Kiersten came to know little Talia and about the disease that threatened the little girl's life. 

Talia came into the world suffering from biliary atresia, a disease that destroyed the biliary system shortly after birth, causing serious liver damage.

The diagnosis came when the baby was nine months old and along with it came the news that without a liver transplant, the baby could not live longer than two years. All this happened when Kiersten had been working for the Talia family for only two weeks ...
