Despite a clear falling out Daisy is devastated by the accident and her life is turned upside down, she is determined to find out more about Rosie’s recent life and what may have driven her to think she had no way out.

Daisy’s story remains in the present; a kind caring individual that strives to please but has perhaps forgotten to think about what she wants from life along the way.

Suffocating in a dead-end marriage, Midwesterner Zoey Sullivan fled to New York and moved in with her older sister Ruth, a carefree, vivacious beauty with a string of eligible bachelors at her beck and call. Giving herself three months in the city to clear her head and find a direction, Zoey dodges calls from her ex Derek, and distracts herself by cooking and catering a few private dinners and parties. When Zoey’s meets reclusive millionaire Tristan Malloy, she’s blown away by his kitchen—a marble and stainless steel temple worthy of the culinary gods—and charmed by his impeccable gentlemanly manners. I recently had a bookkeeper write and tell me that she listens to my audio books at work and it makes her feel like she's living a more interesting life than just crunching numbers.
