A troubled heart led Joshua Chesterton, a mid-fifties writer, to leave Maine, family, friends and his history to embrace the Northwest wilderness. He and his furry, four-footed friend, Shannon, live comfortably in his ultimate "green" cabin overlooking a peaceful view of towering mountains and an awesome lake. Life changes drastically when serendipity and early snowstorms bring Jami, an auburn-haired, feminine, mid-fifties counterpart, literally swiming into his arms. With no memory of her prior life, and no communication to the outside world for an entire winter, humor, faith, and tears draw Jami and Josh together to share unique experiences and develop a warm relationship. While Joshua's heart is finally healing, Jami has no recollection of her previous life and fights falling in love.
