Description: When Nora Griffin, an artist in her mid-thirties, moves from Brooklyn to Provincetown, she isn't looking for trouble. Her partner, Janelle, is recovering from breast cancer treatment, and together they've decided that the quiet off season on the tip of Cape Cod is the perfect place for Janelle to heal and Nora to paint. Then Baby Harris wanders into Nora's life in her red cowboy boots. Over the course of a damp, windy winter, Nora contends with heartbreak, aging, and local environmental worries. And, she meets a chain-smoking, motor scooter-driving landlady Miss Ruby; Reverend Patsy, the vegan minister of the Unitarian church; and Brunhilde, barista extraordinaire and rival for Baby's affections. As the first tourists begin to arrive in June, Nora must decide what she really wants from life.
