After losing their mother and childhood home within days, Willow and her sisters are left heartbroken. At the funeral, a stranger reveals a life-altering secret, forcing them to confront grief and betrayal while uncovering a hidden bond that could heal their fractured family.
The house wasn’t just wood and nails—it was Mom’s laughter in the kitchen, the scent of rain through the window, and every cherished memory with her and her sisters, Claire and Hannah. When Mom announced she’d sold it, it felt like losing her all over again. Battling cancer, she insisted it was necessary, leaving them angry and confused. Two days after moving out, she passed away.
At the funeral, a man named Mark approached them, revealing he’d bought the house—and that he was their half-brother. Shocked, they learned Mom had given him up as a teenager, keeping his existence a secret to protect them. She sold the house to cover medical bills, refusing to burden her daughters with debt. Mark bought it at full price to honor her.
Weeks later, Mark invited them to the house, which remained unchanged. Together, they shared memories, flipping through old photo albums and cooking Mom’s recipes. Though they couldn’t change the past, they found solace in welcoming Mark into their lives, keeping their mother’s spirit alive in the home she loved.
