Is it possible to redeem a family name that has been a curse word for generations? A decade after being cast off to live with strangers, Tabby Saint returns to Solace River, Nova Scotia, to find her childhood home deserted. She quickly latches on to the lonely tavern-keepe who tells her that her family was run out of town and that her sister may be working in nearby Jubilant. Tabby heads out to find the pieces of her family. Told through characters whose hard edges belie yearning hearts, this is the story of a family of outsiders whose redemption might be found in what they tried to escape: each other.
