The novel centers on Hadley, a twenty-seven-year-old who's being weighed down by her past. She had entered into the foster care system at the age of five when the courts took her way from her birth mother, who was addicted to drugs. Though her mother visited her a few times, she just simply disappeared from Hadley's life. At age seventeen, Hadley got arrested for arson, which she claims wasn't her fault.
Now as a adult, Hadley is working as a speech therapy specialist. Out of the blue, she happens to run into an ex-boyfriend, Monroe, who is also a speech therapy specialist. Despite his feelings for her, Monroe, had abandoned her after she was arrested ten years ago, leaving Hadley with a lot of anger feelings towards him. No matter how they feel about each other, they must put everything aside to help a four-year-old girl who hasn't talked since she was rescued from an apartment fire.
