Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding--one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he ever imagined. When a chance encounter with an old flame tempts him to take a chance on love again, he navigates this new opportunity with trepidation and wonder. With the support of family and friends, Russ finally learns the true nature of unconditional love. You can find Two by Two for download on one of our free online streaming services like Hoopla or Libby.
