- If love is the only true gift everyone can give and receive, why doesn’t everyone grab hold of it and never let it go?
- Fanny may be a small-town defense attorney in upstate New York alongside Lake Ontario, but it’s 1961 with growing opportunities for women. She’s not about to listen to naysayers who encourage her to marry and to stay at home and raise a family. Fanny meets Gina, whose husband Kenny is pinned by society as a lesser man because of his limited intelligence. When Kenny is accused of murder, Fanny takes on the case. Gina hopes for her grandmother’s support, but a hidden act of betrayal during the WWII years when Gina and her grandmother lived in Berlin, Germany, threatens to unsettle Gina and destabilize the case Fanny is building on behalf of Kenny.
