She meets the Nashville favorite “Rachael Dawson” and enters into a mentor type relationship with her. However, Karen’s past creeps up on her as the guilt of her past and the haunting words of someone she once loved begin to cripple her to the point of fearing to move forward. The two women bond together as they not only conquer Karen’s past together but put into practice first hand how to share the their stories through gift of music to others, to learn to forgive and realize the blessing of a second chance and to triumph and win not only with the crowd but within themselves.
