The man next door, his granddaughter and her sister's ghost help bring Rose Asbury out of her seclusion.
Fifty-eight year old, Rose Asbury knows people think she's a recluse, but she doesn't care. She just wants to be left alone. She doesn't need anyone and no one needs her and that's just fine. At least she didn't until this year. For some reason this year is different. Suddenly she's melancholy and discontent with her life.
And the man next door doesn't help matters. Every time he sees her, he insists on speaking to her. So her stomach tumbles every time she sees him, that doesn't mean anything. Hunger pangs, nerves, she just wishes he'd leave her alone. Or does she?
Then her sister's ghost shows up and Rose's life changes drastically.
