A year after her husband's tragic death in a car accident, Julie, who has lost her memory of the night, navigates grief and the complexities of life as a widow. She grapples with hidden truths that emerge, challenging her understanding of the past. Her son, in an attempt to help her heal, launches an unconventional community service senior year project called “Date My Mom” forcing her to confront her past, hidden truths, and the possibility of love again. Will she embrace this unconventional path to healing, or will the past consume her? Through her journey of healing and resilience, Julie discovers the enduring power of love and the importance of self-reliance, finding hope, and rebuilding her life alongside her son. Date My Mom by Louisa Vilardi is a poignant exploration of grief, love, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
