A secret closet full of candy. Books that won't go away. And three women with more in common than they think . . . Josey, at 27, still lives at home with her elderly mother. She doesn't go out except to do chores for her mother, she doesn't wear clothes that her mother says don't suit her, and she eats, secretly, as a substitute for the life she's not living. One morning she wakes up to find frost on the inside of her window, which is mysteriously open. When she goes to her closet to raid her secret stash of sweets, she finds a woman sitting in it. Della Lee, on the run from something in her own life, takes up residence in Josey's closet; Josey, in her determination to get this madwoman out of her closet, finds herself finding a life - and a new friend, in the shape of Chloe, who runs the most delicious sandwich bar in the world at the local courthouse, and who's also someone adrift in her life . . .
