But just three months after moving her young family to Cincinnati for a new job, Laura receives shocking news: Her mother had taken her own lifeby jumping off a ledge into the Grand Canyon, a place Laura knew her mother had always loved.
Laura and her mother had shared a profound and special bond, yet each had also kept from the other the deepest truths about their lives. As an adult, Laura finally broke her silence about the sexual abuse she had suffered as a teenager at the hands of her stepfathera secret Laura had buried to protect her mother. After her mothers death, Laura embarks on an emotional odyssey, searching for clues that could explain the depression, intergenerational trauma, and shared heartbreaks in her family. When she returns to the Grand Canyon, it becomes an oasis that nurtures Lauras search for redemption and peace. As Laura wrestles with her feelings, she forges a new path forward.
