Synopsis
A deathbed promise is fulfilled decades later—as secrets are uncovered and an unforgettable story unfolds . . .
A Catholic family in 1960s Chicago headed by a narcissistic and demanding father takes on Lee, a housekeeper with a mysterious past. Lee becomes like a second mother to the Krilich children, especially Sandy.
After Lee’s death, Sandy begins a determined quest to find out her dear friend’s backstory—and proceeds to uncover one shocking fact after another, even as the story of her own family drama, and the heartwarming role Lee played in the Krilichs’ lives, unfolds.
