The novel follows the healing journey of Samantha (Sam) Kane, a strong-willed woman mired in self-imposed isolation after the death of her son, August. Her isolation is interrupted when three balloons intermittently descend on her property. The balloons serve as unusual catalysts of inspiration and healing through their curious messages. As Sam navigates the complexities of her grief and the shadows of past traumas, she discovers the strength within herself to embrace transformation and find solace in her newfound faith. As she emerges from her shell of grief, her choices are inspiring and often surprising.
