When Annalee James was five years old, her parents were killed in a car accident during a terrible blizzard. Helena and Desi, her aunt and uncle, became her guardians and moved their newly made family to a small coastal town in Connecticut for a fresh start.
Years later, Annalee returns to Chicago to attend college, where she meets Cade Mitchell, a handsome but sullen and brooding upper classman. It’s not love at first sight, but as time passes, Annalee begins to see some of the gold glimmering beneath Cade’s tough boy façade.
Annalee brings Cade home over the Thanksgiving holidays, and the town is visited by a winter storm. Helena loans her niece a dark, wool coat—one that her father wore before his death thirteen years before. Buried in a pocket, Annalee finds a key to a safety deposit box at the local bank. One with both of her parents’ names on it.
Upon opening the box, Annalee begins to suspect that things in life are not coincidental. Perhaps the universe is more powerful than she once believed, and things eventually unfold as they are meant to. Helena and Desi always taught her to trust in herself.
Can she do that now?
Can she trust in those she loves?
Can she turn what she’s learned about her past into something that will give her a bright and happy future?
