A romance imbued with immense grief that encapsulates the dynamics of dysfunctional human relationships. Set in a leafy residential setting in the 1960s, Valarie and Samuel have married due to Samuel’s pressure. Valarie knows she does not love her husband, whereas Samuel lives in hope that Valerie will grow to love him.
Trauma, secrets, lies and betrayal govern and dictate the lives of these two people. Both are prisoners to their pain, loss and fear. Valarie has built a thick emotional barrier around her heart to protect herself from further hurt. She is lost and trapped in the trepidation, she feels powerless. Time forces her to deal with herself, and the ghosts from her past. If she is to move forward, she must face the haunting spirits that have consumed her life. She must move from fragmentation to wholeness. She realises that she cannot do this by herself. She needs faith in a higher power to help her put her shattered life back together, before she can find peace.
Samuel has his own deep dark secret, an entangled web of heart wrenching pain.
Their daughter Sophia is the bridge between them, who they both love and do their best to protect from their suffering. But Sophia will also find out that her reality is tainted!
