In this loving small-town community where her grandmother lives, she tries to leave behind the memories of a troubled childhood.

In the midst of this crisis, friendship blooms and deepens between Michael and Claire, until an agonizing secret is revealed: one that may tear apart the fabric of their love, and test whether their faith is strong enough to survive it.
