penance — Sarah Buhl

Do you want to go for a coffee?

It's a simple question -- one that gets asked all the time. But sometimes, it's a question that can lead to love.

This is the story of two strangers who crossed paths multiple times and found one coffee could be life-changing.

Haunted by the passing of her sister and believing she caused it, Hannah Anderson punishes herself. Burdened by guilt, she believes she doesn't deserve happiness and fights every day to make sure she doesn't get it.

Wynn Hawthorne shelters himself from the world-especially women. Social anxiety haunts him and he's found his peace behind the camera lens. He only allows himself to touch life through photos he takes and the books he reads. He finds his solace in the many quotes he has tattooed across his skin -- literary tattoos that mean something to him. Words and photos complete him.

Together they learn their pasts do not define them and forgiveness is the hardest thing in the world to accept.
