Suddenly Suzanne Finnamore was alone, with no idea of what to do next. What would she say to her young son when he woke up the next morning? How would she tell the world that he'd chosen to move on and leave her behind?

From her darkest moments of despair to the eventual freedom of life on her own, Suzanne's story will speak to anyone whose heart's been stamped on — and needed the strength to start afresh.
