Oona Kelly Webster, an editor at a prestigious New York publishing house, finds her life irrevocably changed. After twenty-five years of marriage, her husband drops a bombshell during what was meant to be a silver wedding anniversary getaway at a luxurious château in France, shattering her world.

Despite the devastation, Oona travels to France alone. Soon after arriving in the charming village of Milly-la-Forêt, a terrifying pandemic brings the world to a standstill. Stranded and fearful, Oona receives another blow: she’s lost her job.

Her only solace lies in remaining in France, where the beautiful surroundings and slower pace begin to heal her. A chance encounter with her new neighbor, a well-known Hollywood actor also stranded far from home, blossoms into something deeper than friendship.

Oona wrestles with the risks of opening her heart again, especially to a younger, famous man with two young children grieving for their mother. Faced with a second chance at happiness, Oona must find the courage to embrace even greater life changes amidst a world experiencing fear and turmoil.
