Fiction

In a small Mississippi town, Elizabeth Manley, a respected young wife and mother, grapples with the shadows of her past and a hidden secret that has haunted her for years. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she befriends an elderly woman facing her final days, offering her a place in her home, together, with the warmth of small newly-formed group of friends. They experience the healing power of community and learn how to embrace freedom in life while facing the inevitability of death with dignity.
