Cassie George is barely staying above water as she works to get her doctorate and raise her daughter, but it's a great excuse to stay away from the small Oregon town she fled in shame years prior. When the aunt who raised her has a major health crisis, she knows it's time to return. Cassie is surprised to be welcomed by the quirky seaside community but she still can't help feeling unsettled and is mystified by a package that appears, full of typed pages that tell the story of an anonymous woman. As her curiosity sends her on a journey toward truth, Cassie will discover that who she thought she was and what she wants for her life are both about to change.
