Though Tom had long assumed that he would never see his daughter again, a recent phone call changes everything - when Barbara's mother calls to inform him that she has succumbed to cancer at age 60. With his father-in-law's expected death imminent, Barbara arrives in New York City not only asking for her father but also for forgiveness from him - for who she was in her earlier days and the choices she made eventually led her to living on the streets and being incarcerated for 3 years.
