Grief illuminates the weaknesses in her marriage and forces her to deal with her tumultuous relationship with her own mother.
Unable to move past her guilt and shame, she realizes there\'s more to fix than a broken heart.
But when a late-term miscarriage threatens to derail everything she\'s worked so hard for, she finds herself questioning her identity, particularly What it means to be a mother.
The next logical step was starting a family.
