A sudden widow. A single mother. Both have a habit of hiding from hard truths until a brutal accident-or was it?-forces them to face what they’re hiding, and what they want, in an unforgiving Texas town. Helen is childless and widowed after a long marriage, and gets a second chance with a long lost love. But she’s grieving her hidden regrets. She bonds with her quiet kindergarten student, and doubts the girl’s struggling single mother, Charlene, is fit to parent. Charlene’s hiding a secret of her own, and she resents Helen’s interference. She’s determined to make a better life for her young daughter, the teenage boy her ex left behind, and the baby on the way, when a scarred veteran offers to lend a hand. A tragedy no one sees coming forces the two women to unite, as small-town bias threatens to destroy innocent lives. But first, Helen and Charlene must confront the vacancy in their hearts, to find newfound strength, acceptance, and a second chance at love. Based on a true story.
