Twenty-six-year-old Joshua Clayton is on a lavish vacation in Paris with his parents, his gorgeous fiance and her parents. He soon discovers a terrible betrayal, driving him to leave. Putting distance from them while he sorts through his emotions, he accepts a temporary job as handyman for an elderly woman, Paulette Lapierre, in a small French village. Unfortunately, Paulette doesn't tell him until he arrives that she's dying and has hired him because she also needs a strong and reliable caregiver. Though he's not happy being misled, he's not ready to go home and deal with his troubles, and reluctantly agrees to do double duty-as caregiver and handyman-and stay with her until the end. The job isn't easy, there are age-and-cultural differences, and Paulette lives far outside town in a hilltop troglo cave home. But an unexpected friendship develops with the free-spirited retired dancer, and eventually new romance with a young semi-reclusive baker, Isabelle Bernot. Only, as Josh gets to know Paulette better, he discovers she has secrets she'd hoped to take to her grave. As those secrets surface the three of them are inexorably drawn into an investigation that changes everything and everyone."
