Description
Everyone has their own story, don’t they? It’s what makes us who we are.
The lives of four women form a bridge across time in the story of their desires, their choices, their families:
Anna wants a better life for her children.
Claire wants a connection with her absent father.
Sister Maria wants to honour God through service.
And Annie? Annie just wants to be heard.
A poignant story of family discovery—and the impact of the past.
