Meet Faith Donnovan: bag lady. Weighed down since birth by her emotional baggage, her story reads like a litany of misfortune, from her turbulent childhood to the series of dead-end relationships with men more enticed by the thrills of women, drugs and even witchcraft than by the idea of establishing a healthy relationship. But two failed marriages and a host of other heartbreaks cannot kill her capacity, or desire, to love. And at thirty years of age, Faith finds herself engaged to Justin, a charming and exotic Central American who helps her face her past and shows her how to love herself. After decades of family dysfunction and romantic disappointment, Faith finally believes she's found the one, a man who can help her check her baggage at the door. But a family tragedy threatens to cast Faith back into the clutches of her past, as her sister's jealousy and rage force her to take one last look into her weighty baggage.
