What is the weight of a secret?And what happens when that burden becomes almost too much to bear?For decades, Perla Phillips has hidden the truth of a decision that still fills her with guilt.

But when the opportunity is snatched from her in a most unexpected manner, will she have waited too long? Spanning generations, this moving family drama weaves together the interlocking stories of two women as they navigate relationships, family, faith, and the choices that will shape their lives. Heartwarming and nostalgic, the story explores the courage to share the wounds of the past and celebrates the legacy a family passes from one generation to the next.
