Whispers of Hope

Hope teeters on the edge. Love refuses to follow rules. But timing changes everything.

With just six weeks until her baby is due, Wendy clings to the hope that a quiet Labor Day weekend with the Gilmores will give her mother the strength to hold on to meet the granddaughter she's waited for. Amid the ticking clock of illness, Chris reaches out to Wendy's younger brother, Zach, trying to break through his walls of anger. As they return home, Wendy continues to confront a betrayal too close to bear-her father's lawsuit, accusing her of destroying his marriage.

As wedding plans move forward for her and Brad, Erica prays her daughter's spinal cord injury will heal enough to allow her to stand as her maid of honor. But Abby is fighting her own battle: stalled healing and the growing ache of letting Tommy go. She knows she must release him-but will he walk away for good, or choose to stay by her side?

Amanda's life is a whirlwind of political tension and personal restraint. While managing a cutthroat district attorney campaign, she keeps her feelings for Gary, the campaign's finance manager, at bay. With Sierra's custody hearing adding stress and Millie's impulsive bet raising stakes, Amanda is left to navigate a minefield of pressure and the possibility of romance. Until an unexpected event threatens to upend the life she's worked so hard to control.
