Florence Cooper has spent most of her life caring for her niece, Cam Langley. Now she shares a house with her niece and Cam's beautiful girlfriend, Gloria Edwards, but at fifty-five, arthritis is slowing Florrie's body and solitude is settling on her soul.

On Gloria's graduation day, a chance meeting with the woman who broke Florrie's heart over thirty years ago throws chaos and confusion into her life, forcing her to take a trip down memory lane into 1920s literary London.

Old wounds reopen and long-buried feelings reignite, pulling Florrie into a life she thought long-drowned. Standing once more on the edge of uncertainty, Florrie must decide: dive into the ocean of possibilities or swim for the safety of the shore.
