Synopsis
Nora Webster is recently widowed. Unmoored by her sudden loss and the needs of her children which she now must raise alone, she faces a future that was never meant to be. But within Nora is a strength - a quiet resolve not to succumb to others' expectations and, through the discovery of music and the gift of friendship, she may just find a way to live again.
