Sarah’s love for her husband, professional
baseball player Boone Walker, is bottomless—so much so that her sisters say it
will end up hurting her. While Sarah
stays home and cares for their two children, Boone travels almost year-round. Living apart most of the time makes life
difficult, especially since Sarah often wonders whether Boone is sharing his
bed with other women on the road, even though he swears he’s been true to her
since his infidelity three years ago.
Now, with Boone facing yet another career change, tension rises between
the two, and the emotionally exhausted Sarah must choose whether to break free
from the past and forgive Boone completely, or leave him behind and start
anew.
