Nora Manning flees a life of torment, desperate in a search for safety as well as anonymity. A random stop in affluent Bartholomew, New York, provides what she needs when she finds employment as a live-in housekeeper/cook for businessman Ben Stafford. As they coexist inside his home with polite deference for each other, she soon realizes Ben's need for seclusion equals her own. All is well until a series of events unlock their private pain and they are forced to confront their pasts and seek a path to healing their collective anguish.

Laurel Quincy's respectable life is suddenly shattered by the betrayal of her husband. Everything she thought she knew about him, and their life together was destroyed the day the FBI raided the bank where she was its president. A web of lies and deceit had cost her everything she holds dear: job, home, and financial security. Looking for clarity and solace she seeks her parents grave in historic Pioneer Cemetery. Her deliverance suddenly appears when she meets Maggie, an eccentric old woman fond of wearing pink fuzzy slippers and tattered bathrobe. She proves to be a good friend and advisor, guiding Laurel in rebuilding her life and again trusting in love.
