With the help of her unusual companions, including a nineteenth century maid, criminal lawyer and World War II soldier Clara embarks on a life-changing journey.
Lorraine, now a widow, has just lost her job, causing her house to be repossessed. She moves her twin daughters to a cabin on the outskirts of town. When her sink breaks, she calls a plumber and meets a welcome distraction. Despite her misgivings she falls for him anyway. Can their relationship withstand the tumult whirlwind that occurs when her new boyfriend's ex-wife comes to town bearing a secret no one could have predicted?
Will these sisters be able to mend their broken hearts? And will the process of trying be worth it in the end?
