Mattie Wallace can no longer deny that she really is turning into her mother, a broken alcoholic who never met a bad choice she didn't make. So when she hears of a possible inheritance left by her grandmother, she jumps at one last chance to turn things around. Returning to her mother's birthplace, she soon learns that her mother remains a local mystery - a happy, talented teenager who inexplicably skipped town 35 years ago with nothing but the clothes on her back. But the girl they describe bears little resemblance to the damaged woman Mattie knew, and before long it becomes clear that something terrible must have happened. The harder she digs for answers, the more obstacles she encounters, but giving up isn't an option. Uncovering what started her mother's downward spiral might be the only way to stop her own ...
