But when she discovers that Max has an illegitimate son--who he wants her to help raise--Jade's life is turned upside down. She flees to her childhood home a rambling Iowa farmhouse with enough room to breathe. There-- while her mother's health grows fragile and the tug of her first love grows stronger--Jade begins to question everything she thought she knew about family love and motherhood. In the wide-open landscape Jade begins to see a future that doesn't rest on the power of her past but in the goodness of God's tender mercies.
