Lucille, the mother of a medically fragile child, is traveling an emotional rollercoaster caring for her special-needs child as she desperately searches for a diagnosis. What had happened to her daughter? What did she do wrong?

You are placed in her business world where bosses do not want a mother with this baggage.
