Southport, Connecticut, present day. Decades later, Sophie has lost everything: her husband, her house, and her picture-perfect life. When her parents' old friend Helen visits with an exquisite antique doll, Sophie discovers a stunning treasure—and a truth about her birth mother that sends her on a journey of self-discovery.
