A woman must understand her mother's story in order to overcome her fear of being an unfit mother. After a stranger arrives at the door, bringing with her the news of a family secret, Joyce is forced to confront the woman she's spent her life trying not to become.

She finds hope, possibility, and opportunity beyond her fear. Along the way, she discovers that one can't run forever; she finds the courage to face her mother's past and learn from it. When Joyce finds herself expecting a child of her own, she must face the hardest question of all: how do you love freely when loss and fury are part of your inheritance? Running Between Dandelions is a heartfelt and captivating story about mothers and daughters, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to confront the truth that you run from. Complicated relationships require understanding and forgiveness.
