Description
A baby girl is left on the doorstep of a beach house on Cape Cod, bringing together an unlikely group of women who come to care for her. As they do, their own lives are touched by the arrival of this young child, forcing them to confront long-held secrets and desires. Ruth Cooperman, a woman searching for a new chapter in her life, finds herself at the centre of this unexpected drama. Her decision to take in the baby sets off a chain reaction of events that will change the lives of those around her. As summer unfolds, alliances are formed, relationships are tested, and the women's pasts begin to surface. In the end, it is the unconditional love for this child that brings Ruth and the women of Provincetown closer together, revealing what they have been longing for themselves.
