Neither of them is aware how their new friendship is about to cause shifts in their lives. How Olive is slowly getting out of her head and starting to look at her life from a new perspective... Is Olive finally ready to face her fear? Will she have the courage to save her relationship with her daughter? Grab a copy to discover Olive's search for a new beginning.
