Retired art professor Miriam Johnson has spent thirty-three years in near solitude after her husband Tom's suicide. Now, with terminal cancer, she hires nineteen-year-old nursing student Camille Caillouet as her caregiver. What begins as a simple arrangement becomes Miriam's final mission: to encourage the potential she sees in Camille, the same potential she failed to recognize in Tom. As Miriam guides Camille toward medical school dreams, she finds herself painting again and discovering unexpected redemption. But Camille's fierce independence mirrors the ambition that once kept Miriam from leaving Louisiana when Tom needed escape. In their unlikely friendship, both women learn that giving and receiving grace can transform regrets into redemption.
