When her daily life is shaken by her free-spirited neighbor Danielle - who grew up Plain but joined the Army at eighteen - Tally's instinct is to distance herself. Yet she finds she can't turn away when Danielle's brother, Kenan, specifically asks for her help. She invites Danielle to visit Plain Patterns quilt shop with her, where the story of the plight of a WWI soldier and the girl he left behind resonates with both Tally and Danielle, but for different reasons. When Tally's mother suffers a setback at the same time Danielle's PTSD becomes unmanageable, it seems Tally's efforts to aid them only makes things worse. Can the soldier's story, along with the care of Kenan, help Tally accept the hope that waits just around the corner?"-- ER -
