A poignant and heartfelt debut novel about the mysterious currents of love and loss.

Diana Moore, a 30-something professional woman in New York City, is brooding over her irritating dot-com job and rumors about her ex-lover's beautiful new girlfriend when the unimaginable happens: a terrible accident that turns her life upside down.

Seeking refuge from her well-meaning friends, Diana heads out of the city and ends up in the Pine Barrens, a rural corner of New Jersey, and an oasis of simple living and cranberries. There, in a place where nobody knows her, Diana is temporarily free--free to take a hard look at her life and to begin to explore avenues of change and renewal.
