But before she passes away, Barbara senses that none of her daughters are quite so settled, or as happy as she would wish; that mistakes are being repeated; that damage caused early on has left its mark...that there are things she might say, even after she has died, that would help. So in order to be there for the children she loves, she leaves behind letters, journals, and stories to help the four women find happiness in their lives.
