Innocent, pretty, kind, and compassionate were the fitting descriptions for Karen Barger. She had been living her perfect life until it had begun to crumble at a time she least expected it. 

To seek comfort, she returns to Atlanta, her home, and unbeknownst to her, another piece of her world crumbles in New York.

Along with her two friends in Atlanta, Karen’s life will be on a roller coaster, and she will experience raw, vulnerable, and intense emotions like never before.

Determined to honour the vows of her closest people, Karen will go to the extreme ends to ensure they are happy.
