In this sequel to Miranda, we follow Colette to Paris, France, leaving behind the comforts of her closest friends and the secluded world she created for herself. She and her estranged sister, Claire, have inherited an apartment that Colette promises to help refurbish. She has the option to buy it herself and stay in Paris, or sell it and split the money with her sister.

A series of unforeseen events help Colette make that decision as she is confronted by ghosts of the past (including a history of abuse at the hands of her sister's husband), distractions of the present (embodied in the very alluring Lissa), and possibilities for the future. Follow her as she determines which direction to take, what she's really made of in her quest to find her authentic self, and where she belongs in the world.
