As Irene works to restore normalcy to the lives of eight traumatized Hispanic women, she has to fight for her program's survival and the dignity of the women under her care.

Soon, Irene finds herself in an emotional storm. Grappling with disconcerting emotions regarding David and professional upheaval at Lakeside, she faces a crossroads in her life's journey. The consequences are unforeseen; the repercussions are staggering.
