Lucy would have done anything for her mom ... but she never expected to promise to leave her. After her mom got sick, Lucy dropped everything to take care of her, working all hours in a greasy diner just to make ends meet, and spending every spare moment she had by her mom's hospital bedside.

Now, Lucy is faced with a whole year of living by her own rules, starting by taking the first bus to anywhere.

Except, she didn't expect to find her next big adventure just around the corner ... when on her first day in town she bumps into grumpy, but oh-so-delicious Clay amidst the maple trees.

Surrounded by the cosy magic of Connecticut, could Lucy have the chance to change her future forever ... and finally discover a life she wants to live?
