Story
Nina Epps married too young, to the wrong man, and for all the wrong reasons. Now, years later, she’s stuck with a lazy, womanizing husband who still tries to control her life. Meanwhile, her grown daughter is following a similarly destructive path, throwing away a bright future for a no-good partner. For the first time, Nina’s quiet spirit is stirring, urging her to wake up, reclaim her life, and seize the happiness she’s long denied herself—if it’s not already too late.
