The Bright Years
A multigenerational Texas family saga spanning six decades, following Ryan and Lillian Bright as they build a marriage shadowed by secrets — his hidden alcoholism, her secret son — and their daughter Georgette, who grows up watching love and addiction pull her family apart and, eventually, back together.
“Grace isn't something you earn. It's something you receive when you finally stop running from the people who love you most.”
