An Unfinished Life


About a decade ago, a man lost his son in an accident, for which he blames his son's wife. At another time, his best friend got mauled by a bear, and he blames himself for that. Now, his son's wife arrives to stay, bringing her daughter along. This came as a shock to him, as he didn't know he had a granddaughter. The four of them go through a healing process, as the man learns to forgive both his daughter-in-law, and himself.
