Vivian Ashmead is a highly successful employment recruiter and retention specialist, traveling the country and climbing the corporate ladder. Her life is going perfectly according to plan.

Until it isn’t.

Her latest assignment is consulting with hospitals to offset the loss of personnel since the pandemic. Vivian prides herself on being an expert in her field but is struggling to find her footing. How do you convince someone to return to their field when they leave for entirely justifiable reasons?

Vivian finds herself desperately clutching to her plans as they continue to unravel. The harder she tries to hold things together, the more they fall apart. To make matters worse, she disappoints the few people in her life who care about her.

In her mind, she hears a whisper leading her to a better life.

In her heart, she feels the ache of a longing unfulfilled.

Sometimes you are just…

Done.
