Annie Harlow has everything she wants: a successful career producing a television cooking show, a loving husband, and a beautiful Los Angeles home. When she becomes pregnant with their first child, her happiness feels complete. Then disaster strikes in a single moment. Annie wakes up from a yearlong coma to discover that time is not all she has lost. Broken and grieving, she flees to her childhood home in Switchback, Vermont, where her family runs a maple farm that has operated for generations. Her free-spirited brother, divorced mother, and four young nieces and nephews surround her as she tries to rebuild her shattered world. Annie reconnects with the small town where she grew up and encounters her former high school boyfriend, now a local judge. When she finds an old cookbook written by her grandmother, Annie uncovers a family mystery that could save the struggling farm and help her find a path forward.
