Lucy Farnoll had died seven years ago and with the loss of her close friend's support, Mirelle's life was stuck in a rut. Her marriage is in trouble from internal conflicts as well as troublesome relatives.

Two chance meetings with James Howell lead to a close friendship that helps her face the past, strengthen the present, and set a course for the future.
