About
For years, Anna Capozzi followed the rules. She put family and career before love and dreams and never missed a Sunday dinner with her demanding Italian parents and her brother, Frank. When she shocks herself by walking off the job and away from her nursing career, Anna's life falls apart...which sets the real Anna free to come together, as she starts her own business and meets the man of her dreams. But before she can celebrate her new life, her father's growing forgetfulness leads to a devastating diagnosis. Once again, Anna's dreams are put on hold to put the family first, while Frank faces a turning point in a serious relationship complicated by a hidden past. When a long-buried family secret comes to light, Anna and Frank begin to question everything they thought they knew about their parents, their roots, and themselves. Bound by love, burdened by secrets, and shaped by tradition, Anna must find the strength to let go of the life she thought she wanted and embrace the one she's meant to live.
