SHOW

Veronica receives news her eldest daughter, Anna, has tragically died while on duty as a firefighter.  The news media picks up the story, and soon Veronica is thrust into the national spotlight as the mother of a hero.  After a year speaking to groups and becoming a sort of celebrity, Veronica must come to terms with whether her choice to honor her daughter was based on love or something more self-serving.
