Still Waters

Clutching her pink trunk filled with the relics of a lost childhood, twelve-year-old Jenny steps off a bus in Reno and into the wide-open future.

Separated from her brother, Bryan, and passed from caretaker to caretaker, Jenny endures as she always has: by following the inner compass of the survivor.

But when Bryan chooses a tragic destiny, Jenny must at last confront the secrets and lies that have held her prisoner for years.

Embarking on a search for answers, the adult Jenny discovers that the past cannot be locked away -- even when unraveling one's own anger and pain seems impossible.

Now, in the warmth of her marriage and in the eyes of her child, Jennifer finds her own miracles.

A hardened heart learns to love. A damaged soul finds peace. And life, once merely a matter of survival, becomes rich with the joys of truly living.
