After a series of disastrous dates in NYC, Jane finds herself longing for the peace and safety of being home. Working in NYC is also loosing its appeal. Jane is a ghostwriter, so while people love her books, she continues to be invisible. She longs to write a book under her own name, but she doesn’t know if her publisher is willing to let her step outside of her narrow role.
All this turmoil follows Jane home, where a series of events cause her to realize that while the big city might not appreciate her, there are people at home who love her deeply and unconditionally.
