The charmed life of Mim Rodriguez ended the morning her three year-old daughter, Rosie, succumbed to a rattlesnake bite on their walk in the New Mexico desert. Distraught by grief and guilt, Mim gave up two of the things she loved most: her art and her husband, Rod, and moved to a small town with their six month-old daughter, Nini. Now Mim, the proprietor of a coffee shop that is the hub of community life, is on the verge of reviving her dormant dreams. Nini, about to enter high school, is on a mission to get her mom and dad back together. Rod, having allowed his buried passion for Mim to bloom again, is determined to reunite his family. He has asked Mim to marry him. On one condition. That she tell Nini the secret about Rosie's death. Mim's snow globe world shatters when Nini discovers the truth and moves out. With support and encouragement from the ladies at the coffee shop, Mim acknowledges that it is time. Time to share the passion for her drawing and for her family that she has denied herself for so many years. It is time to bring Rod and Nini home.
