Thirteen-year-old Abby Hubble lives in an unhappy home in the Sierra Nevada foothills where her father makes life miserable for her and her mother, Mary. Looking for solace, grieving widower Elliot Colvin retreats to the hunting cabin he last visited years ago, before his wife's illness. As Abby and Elliot's friendship deepens, Abby imagines how much better her life would be if her mother were married to Elliot instead of her father. But when Abby's father moves the family hundreds of miles away, Abby and her mother must decide how long they're willing to defer happiness.
