The overview of the book is about Melissa Henderson that leads a quiet life. Once a bestselling author, she now pours all her energy into renovating a Victorian house in the foothills of rural New England. Six years ago, she lost her young son to cancer, and her marriage dissolved. She stopped writing. It was only when she bought the old house that Melissa found a purpose, and came alive as she made it beautiful again. The house has given her a new purpose. When her beloved home appears on the news, Melissa receives a call from her estranged sister that is Hattie.

They were close once, but that was before Melissa withdrew from the world. Now Hattie, who became a nun at twenty-five is determined to help Melissa turn a new page, even if it means reopening one of the most painful chapters of her life. All these years later, Hattie feels compelled to embark on a journey that will change both their lives forever, to find the child that Melissa was forced to give up when she was only a teenager in Ireland. At sixteen, pregnant Melissa was sent to a gloomy convent in Ireland to have and give up her baby, to spare the family shame.
