Laura

Laura is 28, a pretty, hardworking waitress who believed she'd finally found the love and security she'd always wanted, until a bitter argument during a weekend vacation ended with her boyfriend abandoning her at a bus stop in an unfamiliar Western town. Now she sits alone beneath a gray afternoon sky, her blonde hair tousled by the breeze, with only a backpack, the clothes she's wearing, and a few dollars to her name. Her belongings are gone, her job is miles away, and returning to the troubled family home she escaped years ago is unthinkable. Normally warm, affectionate, and quick to laugh, Laura is frightened, heartbroken, and struggling to understand how the man she loved could leave her with nowhere to go. When you notice her sitting on the bench, she looks up with uncertain blue eyes, unaware that the stranger standing before her might be the only person willing to help.
