High school teacher Emily Sanders's bucket list didn't include getting divorced and starting a new job in a new city. Those challenges pale, however, when her mother dies and Emily finds herself caring for her sister who has Down syndrome.

When Emily meets Andi Marino she thinks she's found a new best friend, just the right kind of fun and caring person to keep her from spending every weekend alone. So when Emily discovers she's a lesbian and wants to explore her feelings for women, Andi seems like the perfect social guide. Except Emily doesn't know that Andi has been attracted to her from the start and is fast falling in love with her. Caught up in exploring her sexuality, will Emily see the only woman she needs is right in front of her?
