Synopsis
The
first step to letting go of the past is forgiving it…
Every
day of her life Julia Rich lives with the memory of a horrible accident she
caused long ago. In the years since, she has tried to hide her guilt in the
quiet routine of teaching at a small South Carolina college, avoiding close
relationships with family and would-be friends. But one day a phone call from
Carmen, a niece she has never met, disrupts her carefully controlled world.
Carmen
is a study in contrasts—comical yet wise, sunny yet contemplative, soft yet
assertive. As she sets about gently drawing Julia from her self-imposed
solitude into a place of hope, she also seeks her own peace for past mistakes.
Together,
the two women embark on a journey that takes Julia far from the familiar
comfort of home and gives Carmen the courage to open her heart. Together, their
sightseeing trip turns into a discovery of truth, grace, redemption, and,
finally, love…
