At my grandson's birthday dinner, his wife introduced me as "the shrew who ruined the family."

At her grandson's 18th birthday dinner, Olivia is publicly humiliated when her daughter-in-law Francine introduces her as "the shrew who ruined the family." But the gift Olivia brings – an old wooden memory box – contains evidence of a very different family history. Inside are documents proving that thirty years ago, Olivia sold her home and used family connections to save her son Richard from financial ruin and criminal charges. Over the years, Francine systematically isolated Olivia from the family, manipulating Richard into believing his mother was controlling and bitter, when in reality, she had sacrificed everything for him and never asked for anything in return. As Jeremy discovers the truth about his grandmother, family dynamics begin to shift. Richard must confront his role in allowing his mother to be villainized, while Francine faces exposure of her manipulations. The memory box forces long-buried secrets into the light, but will this family find healing after decades of deception? Can the truth finally set them free, or will some wounds prove too deep to heal?
