Leaving behind a dark, angry, uncertain past, a mystifying eighteen-year-old girl named Delilah steps off a bus and transforms lives within the small New England town of Macaenas. Crossing and entangling paths with Amos Harrison, who lost his wife to cancer, Virginia Emmet, a free-spirited woman in her sixties, and Harold Reinman, a young man in his mid-twenties with the mind of a child, Delilah's presence triggers events that change all of their lives. And amidst it all, Delilah's past catches up with her.
