What do promises really mean? "Sweetheart, you need to know there are all kinds of people in the world, and some can't be trusted. At home, we always said 'Promiser Big, Keeper Little' when someone would make big claims and then not be there to do what they said." "Mama, how can I know the difference?" "That is a hard question, and the best I can say is listen with your heart." This is a story of a tenacious mother and a resilient little girl who both listen with their hearts. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, Maria helps her daughter prepare to navigate the harsh landscape of loss and sorrow to finally come to a place of peace. As Darlene triumphs over the people and events that test her very foundation, Maria would have been proud.
