Claire Coulter has given everything to save a marriage that never had a chance. When she breaks free from her alcoholic husband and steps into life as a single mother, Claire relies on her best friend, Brenda, to help her rediscover who she is as she reclaims her life. But when it proves harder than Claire imagined, she's faced with going back to what she knows or pushing through to what she wants. Brenda is a hot-tempered, independent woman that has been hurt too much by love and is resigned to a life alone. She meets a man who seems perfect in every way, but when an accident nearly claims her life and changes the course of their relationship, she may be left with wounds no doctor can treat. Their life-long friendship is all that holds them together when their worlds are falling apart, and with a friendship like theirs that may be all they need.
