She's drawn to her in a way she can't quite explain.As Dawn settles into her new life, she begins to form friendships, discover parts of herself she never knew were there, and slowly grow beyond the life she's always known.But while Dawn is busy looking toward the future, something from the past is quietly making its way back to her.And as old secrets begin to surface, Dawn will have to question everything she thought she knew about her family, her mother, and herself.Because sometimes, the pieces of our lives that were hidden from us are the ones that change everything.
