Now forty-seven, Jessie is outwardly successful but inwardly struggles to reconcile the broken pieces of her past.In honor of Billy May, Jessie has offered Crutcher Mountain as a location to build the Platte Lodge for Children, a wilderness retreat and respite program designed for children with disabilities. Everything comes together beautifully until a series of strange events threatens to shut down the retreat. To save the lodge, Jessie must open her heart to the truths she discovers and place her trust in a lonely little boy.
