Dr. Leigh Culver has traded her stressful Chicago practice for the peaceful mountain town of Timberlake, Colorado. She loves her new life, but she misses Helen, the aunt who raised her after her parents died. Helen Culver spent years caring for her sister's orphaned child. Now a retired teacher turned successful mystery novelist, she travels constantly and avoids winter at all costs. When Helen visits Leigh in Colorado, she discovers her niece still needs guidance, particularly with romance. Leigh takes her aunt to Sullivan's Crossing, a special place that brings out people's best qualities. Helen unexpectedly finds herself drawn to both the location and someone there. Both women must decide whether they can embrace love they never saw coming and choose to live their fullest lives.
