As a child, Kate Hamilton was packed off each summer to her grandfather's villa in southern France. That ancestral home, named Marthe Marie, is now crumbling, and it falls to Kate to return to the seaside region confront her grandfather's debts and convince him to sell. Kate makes her living as a psychologist and life coach, but her own life is in as much disarray as Marthe Marie. Her marriage has ended, and she's convinced that she has failed her teenaged daughter, Lily, in unforgiveable ways. While delving into colourful family history and the consequences of her own choices, Kate reluctantly agrees to provide coaching to Major Edward Soames, a British military officer suffering with post-traumatic stress. Breaking through his shell, and dealing with idiosyncratic locals intent on viewing her as an Americanised outsider, will give Kate new insight into who - and where - she wants to be.
