Synopsis

It didn’t matter where Julie Cahill was that fateful day- it mattered where she wasn’t- and she’ll never get her family back until she can forgive herself.White Picket Fences is a heartfelt family drama fueled by an honest story of motherhood, written for those of us caught up in our own self-searching journeys. The one thing Julie Cahill knows because of her transitory upbringing as a military brat is that she never had a hometown. So she has made sure her kids would grow up in one forever home, in a forever neighborhood, with lots of forever friends. Yet her dream of a permanent hometown has her feeling fenced in.Set in the Delaware Bay area, Julie has achieved her dreams but struggles with having to accept invisibility, underappreciation, and being taken for granted by her family in trade for her unconditional love. Her guilt over not being available for her family on that one fateful day has her challenging karma by tightening her grip on her daughters and husband, ultimately pushing them away.

As a former military brat I understand the transient lifestyle we were forced to lead and how it impacted my decisions as an adult as well. Until I married a military man and we have done our best to keep our girls in the same area. The same school system and maintain the same friends for as long as......more
