When Camille and her two teenage daughters fled New Orleans for the
island of Little Gale off the coast of Maine, the islanders were
initially more suspicious than welcoming. Twenty-five years later,
Camille's Creole restaurant, The Little Gale Gumbo Cafe, has become an
island staple-as has the legacy of her romance with islander Ben
Haskell. Camille and Ben, along with their children, created a new
family unit with a seemingly unbreakable bond. But when Ben is found
unconscious in his home, next to the body of Camille's estranged
husband, old secrets and suspicions reemerge, and the family must
reunite to hope for Ben's survival. But as revelations come to the
surface, so do long-held secrets that will test the limits and
definitions of family.
