For what, exactly, she's not quite sure. But for nearly a decade now, her life has felt on hold, as though there was something...more... just around the corner.

So when she's thrust into the middle of an encounter that transports her back to a life-changing event in her past, will she choose to hide behind her closed curtains and keep the world at bay? Or will she find the courage to embark on this brand new adventure, no matter where it takes her, no matter who she meets along the way?Pemberton Manor is as out of place in Southern California as its residents seem to be.
