One womanâs seemingly perfect life is upended when her biggest secret becomes front-page newsâwith a penchant for lying, how can she turn her life around after so much deception?
Antoinette âToniâ Williams is beyond cloud nine. Not only is she a successful architect, but now sheâs about to marry the love of her life, Lamonte Dunlap, Jr. But on the morning of her engagement party, Toniâs world comes crashing down when her familyâs long-held secret of mental illness is exposed on the front page of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Friends scatter, contracts dry up, and Toni is forced to face the truth about her shattered family. Lamonte assures her he will stick by her side, but Toni is embarrassed and ashamed. The only thing to do, she decides, is to return to her hometown of Sparta, Georgia, to face her inner demonsâand her institutionalized motherâthat sheâs spent twenty-three years avoiding. As she reconnects with family and townsfolk, Toni learns you can always go homeâthe question is, what will you find when you get there?
A provocative and heartbreaking tale of family, illness, deception, and love, Wouldnât Change a Thing explores the ties that bind and one womanâs harrowing and ultimately redemptive journey back home.
