Evie Hamilton's biggest worry in life is whether or not she can fit in a manicure on her way to fetch her daughter from clarinet lessons.

Little does she know that her charmed and happy life is about to be turned upside-down . . .

For one sunny morning a letter lands on Evie's immaculate doormat. It's a bombshell, knocking her carefully arranged and managed world completely askew as it threatens to sabotage all she holds dear.

What will be left and what will change forever?

Is Evie strong enough to fight for what she loves?

And can her entire world really be as fragile as her best china? . . .
