Food anthropologist and museum curator Magnolia “Claire” Whitmore has built a demanding career while raising her young daughter alone. But after missing Sophie’s kindergarten graduation for a major exhibition opening, Claire can no longer ignore the uneasy distance between the life she leads and the mother she wants to be. Then an unexpected letter arrives from an estranged great-aunt, inviting Claire and Sophie to spend the summer at Briarwood Farm in St. Elora’s Ferry.
