What do you do when your everything you know is turned askew? If you're Jessica Connors, then you fall apart a little and then you search your past for clues to decipher your present.
When Jessie's husband leaves her for another woman after twenty years together, rather then being consumed by self pity and sorrow, she uses it as an opportunity to discover where everything went wrong. In the pages of her diaries, she soon discovers that there are a great deal of skeletons that she had carefully hidden behind concrete walls. There is the best friend, Cassie, Cassie's first love, Shep, her own boyfriend, Jake and their friends who were left to determine whose side to take.
Every piece of the the puzzle that she puts into place gives her back the strength that she had thought she lost. Just as her life seems to be getting on track again, the bottom falls out again when tragedy strikes her best friend, Derek. Without the one constant support in her life absent, she is left alone to face the people from the past that she has lied to and accept the consequences. Or is she?
Suddenly, she starts seeing Derek all around her and with his help, she is able to make amends with her friends and move forward. But, with the reappearance of her husband and her first love things become complicated especially when they both are asking for a second chance. She has a difficult decision to make.
Can she forgive the husband that she loved and betrayed her? Will she rekindle the love that she thought she would never have again? Or will she finally stand on her own?
