Summary:

Carli Morris is looking forward to a quiet retirement. Earning billions from the sale of her Madison Avenue ad agency, she dreams of spending her golden years painting and giving back to society. But the heartbreaking discovery of a homeless woman dead in her midtown-Manhattan neighborhood reopens the wounds of Carli's own tragic loss. Realizing her busy career turned her away from the vulnerable, she throws herself onto a mission to get the defenseless off the streets. But as she sacrifices her own needs to support others, her new colleague's illness and her own unresolved grief collide in a staggering sequence of events that will alter her life forever.
