Cathy Rossetti’s secret is Hayley, an outspoken ten-year-old who’s about to meet her family for the first time. Sadly, it’s taken a terminal illness to bring Cathy back to her hometown.

Will dumping his popular fiancée cost him the election? And if Cathy still loves him after eleven years absence, she’s not telling.
