THE SHORTEST YEARS

They each lost a daughter. Now if they could only bury their secrets and shame.

The lives of three very different young mothers intersect in a parent Grief Group that meets in a local church. Still reeling from their losses and crimes committed against their children, the women are hungry for answers, understanding and purpose – and yes, for fun. But as their friendship grows, so does their questionable behavior — and their suspicions about each other. Were any of them complicit in their children’s deaths? And are they lying to the Grief Group, or just to themselves?

An exploration of grief, friendship and the cost of keeping secrets in a small Pennsylvania town.
