Not just feelings

Matisse, the eldest daughter in a wealthy and loving family created by her parents, Regina and Dave, successful figures in the glamorous world of yachts and luxury boats, has grown up surrounded by privilege, laughter, and unconditional love alongside her spirited sisters, Frida and Rafaela. However, one quiet question has lingered in her mind throughout her life, one she has never dared to ask: Why does she look nothing like the rest of her family? While her sisters share their parents' European features, Matisse's African heritage is unmistakable. Although she has never been treated differently, the lingering uncertainty about where she truly belongs quietly resides in her heart. Yet, the biggest storm in her life is only just beginning. When Matisse falls deeply in love with Jacob Logan, a man her parents would never approve of, she faces a difficult choice between the life her family expects and the future she desires for herself. When Jacob proposes that she move in with him, Matisse decides it’s time to stand up for her own happiness. What starts as a simple family announcement quickly erupts into shock, confrontation, and emotions long buried beneath years of silence.
