Seventeen-year-old Maeve survives the car crash that kills her mother—but the truth about that night is buried in fog and guilt. Sent to live with a distant father, an over-eager stepmother, and a baby brother she can’t bring herself to love, Maeve isolates herself in silence and shame. In court, she seeks justice for her mother—until memory returns, and the truth crashes down: she was driving. Wracked with guilt, Maeve confesses, expecting rejection. But her father’s quiet forgiveness cracks open something in her. A letter from her mother—written long before the crash—asks a simple question: Could he be the father Maeve needs? As Maeve begins to face the grief and guilt she’s buried, small acts—sharing waffles, holding her brother, planting her mom’s favorite flowers—become the roots of healing. In time, she stops waiting to belong and begins to build something new. Not a replacement for what she lost—but something real.
