I spent twenty-five years living for everyone else; but after a betrayal we can’t come back from, it’s my turn.

I’ve spent twenty-five years living for everyone else, and the cost has been losing my own identity. After a painful separation, I escape to the lush, serene sanctuary of Azalea Springs, looking for a quiet weekend to clear my head and to figure out what’s next. Instead, I find a vibrant community of people who have traded the isolating hustle of city life for genuine connection and peace.

Between the enchanting atmosphere of Azalea Springs and an unexpected spark with a stranger that reminds me who I am and challenges everything I think I’m supposed to be, I must confront my deepest fears and desires. This newfound freedom brings me to a crossroads: do I risk letting someone else in, or do I stay the course and finish the work of reclaiming the woman I used to be?
