That is the quintessential question sisters Clara Raleigh and Lorraine Callahan are plagued by. Clara, after beating cervical cancer and graduating from college, has decided to turn to suicide to end her suffering. But her plan is thwarted when a car accident leaves her between life and death. Clara awakes on an outdated and rundown train and is told she will be reliving five memories from her past to finally understand what went wrong in her relationship with the man she intended to marry. 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?
