A story of love, family, and asking forgiveness for the unforgivable...Eight years have passed since Annie Wolff abdicated motherhood, leaving her husband and two young children behind. With a family legacy of depression and suicide ideation slowly consuming her, she didn't see any other option. Despite Annie's ongoing struggles, when news arrives of her ex's sudden death, and the resulting bid by relatives to adopt her now teenage children, she can't resist the maternal pull any longer. She comes out of her self-imposed exile and returns home to Snohomish, Washington to make certain her kids are all right.

Amidst old memories, hostile family members, her own internal struggles, and Wic, she must learn to shape her own destiny, apart from the generations before her, in order to win back her children, her life, and love.

To spite her cheating ex-fiance, Dani Porter buys the vacant lot next to his house, planning to build a vacation rental to mess with his view, but must rethink her mission when love with her seemingly arrogant architect trumps revenge
