Katy Walton spent her life trying to be a good girl, or at least giving the appearance of one. When she marries into a long family line of Southern Baptist preachers, it becomes her job to maintain the image of the perfect family in the perfect church with a perfect future ahead. When the façade starts to crumble and even her best intentions fail to fool anyone, she finds herself alone and abandoned. It's not until she realizes how much living in the shadows of secrets and shame has damaged her daughter, Ivy Rose, that she learns to let go of all she once held in order to save what matters the most.

A story for all who have struggled with choices, family, or faith. Vanessa Palmer suffers from the guilt of painful life choices and the inescapable feeling that she's been a disappointment to her parents. With her counselor's help, she is determined to confront a past she'd rather forget, and with the turn of a page, we are drawn into the thoughts and feelings of someone we know.
