After her father's unexpected death, Deanna Carpenter returns to Asherville to say her final goodbye. She has no plans to stay in the town she escaped from years before, but her older sister and mother have other plans. Despite their turbulent relationships she agrees to stay; she wants to understand what happened in the past and put it behind her once and for all.
Grace Carpenter wants the secrets of the past 25 years to stay buried where they belong. Exposing the truth would destroy them, and nothing, not even the promise of a relationship with her estranged daughter, can convince her to take that risk.
As tempers flare and old wounds reopen, Deanna must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth. Will she destroy her family and the people she loves, or is she strong enough to find forgiveness without it?
