One heartbreaking day. That was all it took for Ada Williams' life to fall apart. After years of battling poverty with nothing but hope, Ada believes her biggest challenge is finding a job to give her aging father the life he deserves. But within twenty-four hours, the man she loves walks away from their future, her father is rushed to the hospital, and the world she has spent years trying to hold together begins to crumble.

As she fights to save her father, rebuild her dreams, and open her heart to love again, Ada discovers that sometimes the strongest people aren't those who never break—they're the ones who choose to rise every single time life knocks them down.
