At nineteen, Annie Black abandons California for a London winter drinking to oblivion and looking for love in the wrong places. Twenty years later, she is a happily married mother of three in San Francisco. Then a photograph arrives in her mailbox, awakening an old obsession. After a return trip to London, Annie's marriage falters, her store floods, and her son, Robbie, takes a night-time ride that nearly costs him his life. Now Annie must save her family by untangling the mysteries of the reckless winter that drew an invisible map of her future.
