For nearly thirty years she lived the perfect life in sunny southern California, quite an improvement from her impoverished childhood in rural Arkansas growing up with six brothers.
Her world is turned upside down when the love of her life, Thomas, dies suddenly. She is plunged into an abysmal depression after her husband's death.
