Throughout her young life, twenty-two-year-old Samantha (Sami) Johnson has felt incomplete . . . as though a piece of her was missing; she has sought to fill this void with friends and through her paintings. A recent college graduate, Sami is about to embark on her chosen career - an elementary school, art teacher - when she meets her knight-in-shining-armor, who offers her not only the love and support she seeks, but the completeness for which she yearns. Is she ready to accept this man's intentions and bloom into womanhood, or will she first force herself to address the issues that for years have held her captive?
