Pippin Pearmain is filming a part in an indie film while also attending a music festival and working on her ballet, Delphine. Mysteries surround her, but she hasn't much time to sort them out. She has the offer of a puppy, a reunion with an old friend, a new agent to deal with, and a new plan for a family heirloom. With all this going on, she still has to consider her dwindling family, her very strange cats, and what, if anything, is going to change in her future.

A few weeks ago, her cottage, the cats, and her bucket list were enough. Now she's making a comeback but where will it take her? She can go home to her reclusive existence, but there's so much more to life than wrestling with cranky lemon trees. Pip thinks she might be up to it, but what if she's wrong? Yet...not so long ago she went overboard from the yacht Tulpenmanie. She survived the Experience and thrived in the aftermath, so maybe the challenges ahead will be navigable after all.
