The unresolved case--did she jump, or was she pushed from the roof--would haunt residents of the island for years to come. The community was affected in many different ways. A black cloud of doubt and mystery seemed to hang in the air. While tourism on the picturesque island recovered fairly quickly, the college itself was closed for ten long years before it finally reopened and offered classes to students.

As their friendship and attraction grows, so do deeper feelings,--more permanent feelings--grow between them. However, each has their own troubling issues to overcome. Andy needs to find the truth of Piper's death. If it really was murder, then the killer must be brought to justice. Kate has to leave the past behind, learn to find joy in each day, and hope for a brighter future. Does that future include Andy? When all truths are revealed, will there be healing and new beginnings, and will Piper's restless spirit finally find peace and be at rest?
