When Tamara Bellingham reluctantly joins a residential help seminar for people battling the grief that is crippling their lives, she doesn't expect her own to change so dramatically. During her short time at Gresham House she finds comfort in the shared experiences within the diverse group of people she's thrown into. From hedonistic rock star Jay to battered housewife Sandra, the Gresham crew all end up with more than they bargained for: new friendships, new directions, even new romances. When Ted is arrested on suspicion of attacking his daughter's murderer, tensions rise, and single mother Tamara finds herself stepping up to the plate. But can she trust Garner, the dangerously charming lawyer who seems determined to break down all her defences?
