Lanie Billings is satisfied with her life. That’s right. Satisfied. After growing up in a world of uncertainty, she’s satisfied living a quiet life with a dead-end job that puts a roof over her head and food on her table. And she finds a little joy from making that food herself. She’s not looking for more because she’s learned not to expect more. Oh, and she’s terrified of most people. There’s that, too.
Max Parker is satisfied with his life. He has a successful farm and a happy four-year-old son. He’s not looking for more because he’s too busy. And he knows bad things can happen. He’ll take his busy, satisfied life every day of the week over the unexpected.
One fender bender and a short growing season is all it takes to shake up this pair of satisfied people. Life is about to get uncomfortable for each of them. But could it be worth it? Is there something better than “satisfied” around the corner?
