They are the Season sisters, bound by blood, driven apart by a tragedy. Now they are about to embark on a bittersweet journey into the unknown, an odyssey of promise and forgiveness, of loss and rediscovery.

Her death, and the legacy she leaves them, will trigger a cross-country journey in search of a stranger — a stranger with the power to mend their shattered lives. As the emotions of the past reverberate into the present, Jillian, Beatrice and Rose search for the girls they once were — in hopes of finding what they really lost: the women they were meant to be.
