How much would you sacrifice for family?
This engrossing contemporary fiction family drama deals with the complexities of family life and the difficulties of trying to overcome a betrayal.
From the outside, Connie has a great life, running a flourishing business while maintaining a good marriage. However, one night, she receives a phone call that threatens to derail everything.
For a long time, Connie tried to forget what Lydia had done. She’d finally moved on. Yet, when they see each other for the first time in twelve years, it transports Connie to a time she is desperate to forget.
When Lydia reveals a heart-wrenching secret, Connie is conflicted between doing what’s right or walking away. The idyllic life she made for herself is in danger of unravelling as the past crashes into the present. As family pressure mounts, Connie must decide whether family ties are too strong to break or if some misdemeanours just cannot be forgiven.
A moving contemporary fiction short story about one woman’s struggle to get over the bitter taste of betrayal by the one person she loved the most.
