In middle age, and on the cusp of big changes, Miriam is looking back over her life. She was a young woman when she was first smitten by Jacob, a charming travelling stranger. They ran away together to start a new adventure.
But that life never turned out as expected. Jacob wasn't as charming as he first appeared-and when he abandoned his family, Miriam was left to raise their daughter alone and wonder whether he would one day return to them.
Will she ever find a way through the pain and rejection to find the peace she yearns for?
