What happens when a woman only has enough love for her husband?
A young woman grows up in a family that displays very little affection towards one another. As a young adult, she manages to meet the love of her life. This military man would gallantly sweep her into his 1971 Gremlin and together they'd ride off into the sunset.
But, soon after getting married, she gives birth to a daughter, and her knight-in-shining-armor is called to war. He doesn't return.
Her daughter grows up with a sense that she doesn't love her. That she only had enough love for one person - her husband. And she is afraid that she, too, will be raised in an unloving home
Can mother and daughter come to terms with whatever is really keeping them apart? Can a woman really love her child, without having felt love herself?
In this story a daughter will do what it takes to earn her mother's love. She only hopes it isn't too late.
