After a disastrous marriage, widow Jacqueline Jolivette, moved with her teenage daughter, back to Louisiana. A place she’d escaped fifteen years ago. Having survived as an outsider for so many years, city mouse Jacqueline hoped that she and her daughter could find acceptance and community in a small town.
As a successful lawyer, Kevin Babineaux has built a great life, with family, friends and community. But something is missing. On his wall hangs the photo of the one that got away; the one that he measured all his relationships with and they all fell short. Imagine his surprise when his new client fifteen years later, is the one that got away. Imagine when she shows him a picture of a teenage that is unmistakably his.
As Kevin and Jackie try to build relationships and give their daughter stability, Jackie’s past comes back from Chicago. With tempers fraying, can they build the family they need. In the end, they’ll have to do the work to build a life together on the bayou.
