Dying Changes Everything

Ronnie Hart's life changes forever the day she dies—or almost dies—saving her beloved dog, Rocco, from drowning. Against all odds, modern medicine, sheer luck, and a touch of fate give her a second chance. But coming back to life doesn't mean picking up where she left off.

Haunted by memories of what could have been and consumed by regrets she can't seem to shake, Ronnie struggles to find her footing in the world she almost left behind. In a desperate bid for redemption, she and Rocco embark on a road trip of atonement, retracing the steps of her past mistakes and seeking closure.

As miles roll by and Ronnie confronts the people and decisions she left behind, she begins to realize her greatest regret isn't what she thought it was. With time running out, she must decide to return to the past or abandon it forever - a choice that could cost her everything.

Hidden in the Trees

Hidden in the Trees

Fifteen years ago, Kelly Bowers fled Riverton, Virginia, leaving behind a troubled home and a life she couldn't wait to escape. Now, a family health scare forces her back to her childhood town, along with her teenage daughter, Daisy, reopening old wounds Kelly thought she'd buried forever.

For Daisy, Riverton is an exciting mystery. Her mother has always avoided talking about her past, and Daisy sees this trip as her chance to uncover the secrets Kelly has carefully hidden—starting with the identity of her father. But the deeper Daisy digs into her mother's life, the more questions she uncovers, including the significance of the hidden pond Kelly forbids her to visit.

As Kelly grapples with the memories she's spent years suppressing, Daisy grows closer to uncovering the truth about her family and her roots. When tensions between them boil over, both mother and daughter are forced to confront their pasts and decide whether they can build a future together.
