Synopsis

Even with her mother's death days away, even as her marriage is falling apart, Euly Winger leaves home, returning to the place she grew up in order to uncover a dark secret about her parent's divorce. On her search for answers, Euly meets up with an old family friend – now broken and drunk – who tries to seduce her in a trade for information. After rejecting his advances, she ends up breaking into her aunt’s and rummages through her private records. However, after catching her, Aunt Moon tosses Euly out of her home. With no one else to turn to, she goes back to the drunk. When he ends up attacking her, Euly fights him off. Incensed by her second rejection, he angrily blurts out everything about her parents. When he finally leaves, she accidentally overdoses, slips into unconsciousness while bathing, nearly drowns, and ends up in the hospital. Two days later, she returns home just hours before her mother dies. As they sit alone together, Euly asks her mother for the truth. A suspenseful and inspirational read, DROWNING, a story of love and redemption, loss and forgiveness.
