At that tender age her little sister disappeared-never to be found. It was a loss that slowly eroded the family bonds she once relied on. As an adult with a prestigious job in the arts Julie meets a struggling artist who reminds her so much of her sister she can't help feeling protective. It is a friendship that begins a long and painful process of healing for Julie leading her to a house on the Gulf Coast ravaged by hurricane Katrina and to stories of family that take her deep into the past.
