It takes Skye eight months to get clean, but the day she is released, she has one plan: to be a good mother better, at least, than Skye's own selfish mother and absent dad.Owen Garret hasn't seen his daughter in ten years. He, too, needs to make amends. Newly out of prison, he picks her up from rehab and together they set off to find Gracie, and to forge a relationship that transcends the hurt and anger that have brewed between them for almost a decade. In the meantime, they find Margaret Yearwood, too Owen's lost love whom he left when he turned himself in for a long-ago crime.
