When they were young, the Palmer sisters were best friends, but as they became young adults they grew apart. Karen was serious and responsible; Nicole was the pampered baby. And Cassie was their father's favorite, until she broke his heart by giving up a scholarship, getting pregnant, and running away with a worthless guy. Twelve years later, Karen is career- and home-centered. Nicole is married to an indulgent husband. And Cassie is trying to start over, leaving her abusive husband and bringing her daughter back to her hometown. The sisters must overcome the intervening years to see if they could become a family again.
