Ruth Martin’s plan for an independent life in southern Oregon is shattered when Mazy’s failure to act contributes to tragedy. As Ruth begins again, Mazy, Tipton and Suzanne confront their own damaged marriages, expectations and habits of self-protection.

The trilogy closes with women moving into new communities where hope must be practised rather than merely professed. Faith and friendship become durable only when each woman accepts responsibility for the past and allows love to take forms she did not originally choose.
