Synopsis

Can we alter our dreams and stories from the past to create a better future for our children?

Zane and Skye are misfit teens drawn together by their love of music and their loneliness, both part of Seattle’s grunge scene in the early ’90s. They dream of moving to LA together, Zane’s music career following the trajectory of Kurt Cobain
and Eddie Vedder, and Skye drawing Picasso-esque portraits on the Venice Beach boardwalk. When a tragedy violently catapults these best friends to lovers, their bond is forever strengthened and their relationship destroyed. Ten years later, in
their late twenties, they must come together as parents, putting aside abandoned dreams and broken promises. The question is, can they face the truth of who they are and become the parents their daughter needs them to be?

For fans of Julie Hanks’ content, this was generally in line with her perspective. This was a quick read and an interesting study into what is or will be considered culture vs legacy vs doctrine in the church. Being a Church of Jesus Christ and the implications of large parts of a Christian religion......more
