Kyra Aberdeen, has moved home. Well at least to the home her mother grew up in. An old victorian that needs a lot of work. She bought the house because, she needed closure. Her mother had become addicted to drugs, ended up in prision pregnant, and then killed herself when Kyra was just a baby. Her grandparents, disowned her mother, and when she was born, wanted nothing to do with her. So her uncle and aunt raised her. Another reason for needing the closure, is Krya suffers from depression, and when the drinking wasnt helping she began to cut herself.

She hires local contractor brothers Cade and Hale Cooper to do the work on the house. Cade is the business part of the company and Hale is the worker. Where Cade is friendly and out-going, Hale is cranky. Her neighbor Stevie, is her age, and they get along great, except for Stevie having a drinking problem. And she also finds the rest of the neighbors to be nosy old ladies, who want to rule the street, tell her who she should be friends with, and also complain about the garden in the front of the house because its so overgrown.

Kyra and Hale have a hate at first sight relationship. But the tension is mostly because they are drawn to each other. Kyra is living in 1 room of her house while things are being fixed, but when she goes looking in rooms she sits in a window seat in the front of the house, only to find it has a hidden compartment. In there are photo albums of her mother growing up. She has to try to work her way through the emotions that surface with this, running into her grandmother, and also her feelings for Hale. And living so close to the ocean, that is her only get away, her solace. But when her friend has a accident after drinking, her relationship with Hale and all the rest of the stress, shes in a very dark place that she has to try to survive.

This is a first for Meg Collett, she didn't just hit it out of the park with this one, but out of the universe!!! It brings to the surface what one goes through when dealing with depression, and how even having one person to talk to makes the difference!!
