Description
Diane Martin's life was turned upside down when she discovered that her mother had been released from prison after 65 years. The phone call that followed revealed a shocking truth: her maternal grandmother, Anna Bergman Craine, was alive. As Diane learns the story of her grandmother's past, she begins to understand why she has lived a life so different from hers. Anna's life changed forever in an instant when she committed a crime of passion and was sentenced to life in prison. Decades later, she is set free, but finds that her family has chosen to forget her. This heart-wrenching story explores the events that led up to Anna's tragic decision and how it has affected those around her. As Diane grapples with the truth about her own life, she begins to see parallels between her grandmother's story and her own. A powerful exploration of the choices we make and the consequences that follow, this book is a poignant reminder of the impact one moment can have on a lifetime.
