After a crushing betrayal by her closest friend and roommate, 25-year-old Aster Lenore abruptly leaves behind the life she worked so hard to build in the city. Her relentless pursuit of success in the competitive world of marketing is exchanged for the quiet simplicity of Opal Bay, a remote town where her older brother runs a guesthouse. What begins as a temporary decision to lend him a hand evolves into a journey of profound self-discovery as Aster encounters visitors from all walks of life.

Amid the steady rhythms of small-town life, Aster navigates her grief and the weight of her past. The unexpected connections she forms and the slower pace of Opal Bay gradually help her lower her guard. In the process, she uncovers that life, and her own potential, holds far more than she ever imagined.All Rights Reserved
