Overview: When Venetta’s military husband disappears, he is assumed dead. She now must raise their son, in a failing economy, during a time of war on U.S. soil. She longs for her son to grow up with a father, a privilege she never had.
Raised in a small town in Kentucky, Venetta is no stranger to the struggle. Her father passed away before she could know him, leaving her mother to a life of working two jobs to ensure her daughter would have a better future. Her mother’s work pays off, when Venetta earns an M.B.A., and better yet, scores a high profile career, jetting around the globe.
Introverted at heart, she meets country after country, but yearns for her quiet, Kentucky life. She’s in high-demand in her field, and is offered a stationary job in New York, one week after meeting a handsome, military man. It’s not the quiet life she’s accustomed to, but she’s enjoying the pay and the boyfriend who understands the demands of her career.
The life she’s built will tumble down with the mention of the dreaded “c” word. Cancer. With one phone call from her mother, she’s on a plane back to Kentucky, leaving her fast lifestyle behind. She will soon regret pushing her mother into chemotherapy, when she sees the vibrancy drain from her life. She’s no longer a warm, busy mother, and grandmother, but a shell, littered with sickness.
With the chemotherapy killing her mother faster than the cancer, she must find another solution. Dabbling in herbal medicine, she stumbles across ancient methods of healing, but when suited soldiers arrive at her door, her studies are interrupted. Her husband is assumed dead.
Triggered by memory of her own fatherless childhood, her heart aches day by day for her son. She dreams of a chance to start over, to change this outcome. Her dream will come true, when she is offered a petty trade for her husband’s life. Her weapon could cost her country the war, and thousands of lives, but the decision is hers. What will she decide? What would you decide?
