Could befriending a social outcast be the key to reviving
her marriage—or will it be the final breaking point?

Kate Bauer is ready to scrap her so-called perfect life. Her husband, Adam, is more concerned with climbing the corporate ladder than spending time with his family. This leaves Kate with the day-to-day challenges of raising their two kids, like figuring out why their eight-year-old son can’t seem to make friends, and controlling their twelve-year-old daughter, whose entire world revolves around her friends.

When Adam’s overbearing boss requires him to volunteer for a community service project, he is assigned to help Jimmy, a 55-year-old social outcast with a mental disability. Before long, Jimmy monopolizes Adam’s time and attention, driving Kate and Adam even further apart.

Seeking a distraction, Kate cleans out her beloved grandparents’ farmhouse. She finds comfort in sweet childhood memories until she discovers a heartbreaking family secret.

As Kate struggles with the truth, she questions everything she’s ever believed about her past, her marriage, and theridiculous dream of living happily ever after.
