What does it feel like to give a child everything, only to become the enemy in his eyes? In her last life, Nancy Reese poured her heart into pushing her son Dylan into Westbridge University—only for him to walk away and run to the father who never cared. Reborn, Nancy gives up custody and lets Dylan live the sweet illusion woven by her ex-husband Michael and his new partner Caroline. Free from the chains of the “perfect mother,” Nancy focuses on her career, rises step by step, and grows closer to Kenneth Miles, the lawyer who has secretly loved her for years. As expected, Dylan spirals under his father’s indulgence. But when he finally returns, battered and ashamed, how will this bruised mother and son face each other again?
