Freya Daly has always been a smart businesswoman - tough and unemotional but for several months she's been bursting into tears for no reason at all. She's sure it must be some kind of rare eye condition. Her boss (and father) sends her to a rundown camp in Idaho with orders to obtain the property at any cost. Why, Freya doesn't know. Alone and far from home, her eyes get worse and the one thing that seems to help is the friendship with Piper, a little girl who shows Freya that being a kid again can be a lot of fun. Nate Brody is a 5-star chef in Cincinnati. But he promised his dying father to find a mysterious lost item before selling the rundown campground. He's anxious to get back home. It doesn't help that his daughter, Piper, loves it there. For once, he's not working 15-hour days and he and Piper feel like a family. The only fly in the ointment is the guest in cabin 4. The beauty from Boston has charmed Piper and, for some reason, seems as eager to buy the campground as Nate is to unload it. As Freya and Nate build a friendship, things start to heat up...

Finally Shar, professor of ancient history at Summerville College, wakes up one morning to find her neurotic dachshund, Wolfie, snarling at an implacable god sitting at her kitchen table. What on earth is going on in this unearthly little town? It's up to Abby, Daisy and Shar to find out...
