Determined to solve the mystery, she sets out on a journey and discovers that the young girl owns a small non-profit bookstore. Shy Robyn is troubled by unrequited love for the dazzling Kian and desperately needs help in the bookstore. Joy gradually integrates into the small local community, where she finds a new home and herself after her husband's death, but the true reason for her arrival remains a heavy secret that becomes increasingly difficult to reveal. When she finally finds the courage to admit who she really is, she leaves everyone around her in complete shock.
