SOMETIMES THINGS-NO MATTER HOW HARD A WOMAN TRIES-CAN'T BE FIXED
RUTH-from childhood to young womanhood-struggled to come to terms with her mother's often incomprehensible ways, sure that if she were good enough, tried hard enough, she would be able to save her mother from hurt and keep her family intact. If love were powerful enough, it could bring reason to the unreasonable, couldn't it?
EVAN-the man who convinced Ruth she needed more, if only she'd reach for it. But he never expected that his love for Ruth would be something she had to pay so dearly for.
ELIZABETH-"mother"-the keeper of secrets.
EVERYONE KNOWS SISTERS LIKE THE SAMS GIRLS–three women trying their best to be good daughters, mothers and wives.
LYDIA, married to Wayne, worked a dead-end job to make sure her daughter, Anna Claire, had the best in life. MADALAINE, the mother of two, struggled to get on with life after her husband's desertion and ELLIE…well, Ellie shuffled along, taking care of her parents and brother, while dreaming of Graceland.
Life rolled along, routine, expected. Until one cataclysmic moment when everything changed…and the sisters had to uncover every shrouded secret, risk lifetime bonds, to ensure the survival of all they loved.
