After losing her five-year-old daughter to cancer, a grieving mother finally makes a decision to adopt another child.

But when a secret held by her estranged husband surfaces, she is forced to confront a difficult situation.In the muted light of her living room, Eleanor yelped, throwing her Chinese take-out box somewhere behind her and not caring. The sound interrupted the silence that her once vibrant home was known for these days. After losing her daughter, Ava, to leukemia five years ago and separating from her husband, Joseph, a year later, Eleanor had lost her passion for everything, including her career in fine art photography.

Although she and Joseph had discussed trying to work things out again, all Eleanor really wanted was to be a mother again. Over the past year, she had spent hours on adoption websites. Her small yelp and exaltation came from discovering one child, Charlotte, who was the vivid image of Ava.Eleanor clicked to see more of her photos from Grace Adoption Services and reached for her phone after a few more minutes. “Hello, this is Grace Adoption Services. I’m Samantha. How can I assist you today?” came a warm voice on the other end.
