About

Passing Through is about a widowed, 30-something mom. She has it together enough to run an AirBnB out of her home while solo parenting a toddler, but she can't sleep, and she's numb with grief. A man reserves the room for one night. He's been hiking the Appalachian trail, trying to find clarity about whether or not to start a family with his fiancée. By the end of his stay, she inspires him to go for it, and he inspires her to love again.
