A pastor’s wife with everything together. A widow with everything falling apart. A past they can’t forget and a future they fear. Can mother and daughter overcome their anguish and betrayal to face the challenges ahead?
Ruth Huang’s life seems perfect. With a respectable job in a pharmaceutical conglomerate, a house in the Chicago suburbs, a caring pastor husband, and a well-behaved son, she’s a woman to emulate. When her widowed mother visits from Japan, she can no longer hide her irrational fear of death and her unforgiving heart. While both mother and daughter struggle with chronic diseases, Ruth’s new boss bullies her. Meanwhile, an anonymous letter accuses the pastor and his wife of grievous transgressions.
Unforeseen events force the family to reflect on redemption and reconciliation. Mom chooses to forgive her abusive stepmother, but Ruth can’t let go of bitterness and anger toward her aunt. As tragedy looms once more, can Ruth learn to forgive? Will she surrender her innermost dream?
