When
an unfortunate accident forces Honor back into the lives of her widowed
daughter-in-law, Jo, and her only granddaughter, Lydia, she cannot wait to be
well enough to get back to her own home. However, the longer she stays with Jo
and Lydia, the more they start to feel like a real family. But each of the
three women is keeping secrets from the others that threaten to destroy the
lives they’ve come to know.
Honor’s secret threatens to rob her of the
independence she’s guarded ferociously for eighty years.
Jo’s secret could destroy the “normal” family life
she’s fought so hard to build and maintain.
Lydia’s secret could bring her love―or the loss of
everything that matters most to her.
One
summer’s day, grandmother, mother and daughter’s secrets will be forced out in
the open in a single dramatic moment that leaves them all asking: is there such
a thing as second chances?
