What if Derek Shepherd and Allison Montgomery had a child?
Meet Layla Bertha Montgomery-Shepherd-only child of world-renowned surgeons Derek and Allison. School's golden girl: flawless grades, early graduation, a surgical attending at 22.
But behind closed doors, Layla was alone-juggling figure skating, ballet, gymnastics, and unbearable pressure. She coped with alcohol, cigarettes, and, rarely, drugs-anything to numb the pain of perfection.
At 16, done with playing the perfect daughter, she enlisted in the army-finally finding the love of her life and a family who see her, not her résumé.
But secrets unravel. On the night before deployment, her dad learns of her mum's affair-with his best friend, Mark. Thinking Layla knew and lied, Derek walks out, cutting them both off.
Months later, soldiers are wheeled into Settle Grace Hospital... with their Major General Montgomery- Shepard but she goes by Major General Rivers ,until someone slips up and calls her by her wrong name, which reveals that Derek has a daughter and she is that daughter. But why is Layla back-and what happened overseas that she isn't saying?
