Every woman buries secrets. Even from herself.
Lizzie, Grace, Sassie and Ruby – They laugh together, cry together, and keep each other together through life’s Oys* & Joys. Until the tragic consequences of a decades’ old betrayal threatens the trust between them.
A story of unlocking truth. Of defeating regret. Of the power of steel-laced friendships. But sometimes, the back side of middle age shoves the past, and the secrets it harbors, into the present.
And secrets never die quietly.
