Everyone thought she was the perfect wife. They were wrong. Fifty years ago, Cynthia Hart had it all: she was beautiful, confident, and married to a man who adored her.

With a devastating diagnosis threatening her future, Cynthia compiles a list of “last hurrahs” she’d like to complete before it’s too late. But before she finds peace, can she confront the damage she’s inflicted on the people she loves… and ultimately, on herself?
