On the run from the past, she found herself

Unhappy in her marriage, expectant mother Rose (Dana Delany) flees to a home for unwed mothers in rural Tennessee in this adaptation of Ann Patchett's novel.

Everything seems fine until Rose's first husband tracks her down and she's forced to relive her troubled past.
