But when one of her clients is tragically killed, she finds herself at a crossroads.

Her work has always come first, though, leaving little time to connect with her daughter. Over the years, the rift between them has become a chasm, so when Mallory appears unannounced, Helen sees it as an opportunity to repair their broken relationship.But hidden among Helen’s mementos are the keys to her past and a terrible secret that threatens to destroy the fragile new trust between them forever.
