Summary
Helga Pataki impulsively walks away from her six-month job with DCFS, burnt out and disillusioned by a system that puts budgets above children. Caught between guilt, survival, and the ache of old traumas, she leans on her best friend and cousin as she stumbles through the messy process of healing. But recovery isn’t linear—and every step forward comes with its own setbacks, false starts, and unexpected detours.
