His request requires that Suzanne face a family that may not have forgiven her and a strict faith community. It also means seeing Paul Aldrich her first love. Paul widowed with an eight-year-old son is relieved to see Suzanne again giving him the chance to beg her forgiveness for his past indiscretion.
