A tender story of family, belonging and the meaning of love.
Everybody has a secret . . . Anny Butler has devoted her life to caring for others - first for her own brothers and sisters, now for other people's children as director of a child welfare agency. What Anny has never had is a real family.
That changes when she marries Lewis Aiken, a surgeon fifteen years her senior. Lewis introduces Anny to the Scrubs - a group of childhood friends who are inseparable and who welcome her into their unconventional family. Among Lewis and his friends, Anny is loved and supported as never before.
The Scrubs vow to live by the sea and grow old together, but as that time draws near, tragedy and death enter their lives. And Anny learns that some loves carry a terrible, and dangerous, price.
