Instead, she finds herself drowning in sorrow and guilt—until an unlikely friendship blossoms with her reclusive Amish neighbor, Emma Mullet, who harbors secrets of her own. Meanwhile, Delilah's daughter, Sparrow, struggles under the weight of her mother's grief, finding solace in Emma's home even as she hides devastating secrets of her own.
