The adored adopted child of a stoic immigrant couple, corporate lawyer, Natalie (Nata) Dreyer, is beautiful, ambitious, talented and successful. She has achieved all that her father drove her to strive for, and when she marries the rich and charming Karl Albrecht, it appears her dream future is assured. But Nata's adoptive parents are keeping a secret.
An unplanned pregnancy presents challenges for Nata and the narcissistic husband who has been raised to demand perfection in every aspect of life. The premature birth of their son almost destroys them both.
Karl has his own secrets, and now he must confront the fear that his sins led to a tragedy. And then, when he is sure things can get no worse, he is forced to face uncomfortable truths about his own family.
Meanwhile, Nata is uncovering the truth of her past, and doing so releases her from the prison her ambitions created.
Can Karl forgive his own sins, learn to accept imperfection, and come to appreciate the true meaning of love?
Mortgaged Goods confronts us with heart-wrenching questions about our capacity to forgive, to love, and to sacrifice.
