Set in a close-knit community, the story centers on a grandmother who must confront the horrifying revelation that her sister’s abusive husband has harmed not only her daughter but also her granddaughter. Caught between loyalty and fear, she navigates a web of secrets and silence, finding temporary solace in her sewing machine—her only escape. As the truth threatens to unravel the families carefully maintained facade, she faces an impossible choice that will determine the future of those she loves. This is a powerful narrative of pain, resilience, and the quiet strength of a woman determined to protect her family.
