Professional artist Sarah Ollin struggled to overcome the anguish of an ill-fated relationship. As a result, her work stalled. To recover the creative muse, she fled to the North Country, immersing herself in solitude, and the soothing, sensory beauty of the St. Lawrence River region.

During that first summer sojourn, and for a fleeting moment, Sarah's path forward seemed clear, the future she longed for in sight. When her privacy and peace was disrupted by an uninvited stranger, his presence shaped unforeseeable consequences, for both of them. But when another, unanticipated and long repressed problem materialized, she became desperate, terrified of losing everything and everyone she valued.

Could the encouragement and support of the people she loved help heal her wounds? Or would one, who seemed virtually lost, or another, aching to be found, be able to save Sarah?
