Abandoned as a child, Melanie Forsythe seeks stability and belonging after her mom’s boyfriend is left to raise her.

But her dream of having a family of her own is shattered when she suffers tragedy and betrayal. Finding herself at an unexpected crossroads, Melanie must rely on the lessons given to her by someone who owed her nothing but gave her everything.
