Aud Torvingen is tucked away in a remote cabin, grieving and alone. “Stay in the world,” her lover said, and Aud promised, but she doesn’t know how. Then her friend Dornan shows up and asks her to find his runaway fiancée, and she surprises herself by agreeing. In the search, she finds that sometimes people need help, and sometimes they need to know that they have something to offer, and the line between the two is thin and easy to cross. And Aud will have to cross it herself, if she’s to keep her promise.
