The Journey Ahead

When their car breaks down and they’re stuck in a charming small town, Madeline and Sarah soon start to find some common ground. Having grown closer, they divulge personal hardships to one another, and each provide support to help them through.

Madeline meanwhile gets a clean bill of health and, with a new lease on life, she meets her daughter that she had given up for adoption back when she was a teenager. The bond that Madeline and Sarah form develops into a close friendship that stands the test of time.
