Life is not always what we want it to be, and it isn't always fair. Buddy and Darlene find each other as teenagers, quickly fall in love and start their fairy tale life together. It isn't until their second daughter, Jill finds love that they are all forced to realize that not all good things stay good, or last forever. Love, promises, devotion.....you're lucky if you get to truly experience them.....not so lucky if they are all taken with no promise of a return. When Jill is forced to face herself and her decisions, she is also presented with the judgments that are so easily placed on those who are least equipped to handle them. The only thing left to do is to go on....maybe not gracefully; certainly not easily.
