There’s not a day Anna doesn’t wish she could go back into the past and change the outcome of its course.
It’s not easy trying to keep herself from succumbing, succumbing to the blame others pinpoint on her, even though she knows it isn’t aimed at the right place.
There’s only so strong a person can be – or try to be – and although Anna doesn’t want to accept it, she’s hurting.
Hurting on the inside, hurting on the outside, hurting for herself, hurting for him.
Then she’s sent away to spend the summer with her grandparents in Virginia, if Anna knew her mother’s heart was in the right place, then maybe this would have been a reassurance that she still had a mother. But how could she know, they hadn’t talked – really talked – since her father left with no sign of ever returning.
Upon Anna’s arrival though, she finds that things aren’t quite the same as she remembers.
Stuck between accepting that the past has become a part of her and moving forward, and getting stuck somewhere in-between, Anna has to make decisions.
