Still a dreamer at thirty, Charlotte Wheelwright embraces a new beginning when she starts an organic garden on part of her grandmother's property, finding grounding and creating a fresh start in life.

Ninety-year-old Nona Wheelwright often dwells in memories of the past, but as her family's annual reunion and financial meeting approach, she must set aside her solitude to calm her easily agitated relatives.

For years, Charlotte's mother, Helen, has faced pressure to conform to the Wheelwright family traditions after marrying into the prestigious clan.
