Eli Cranston, Esq. has fled his Los Angeles law practice, and every thing revolving around the broken legal system, after the loss of his wife and daughter. Thirty-four hundred miles away a new life was waiting; one in which Eli could find redemption, forgiveness, and a purpose if only he would allow it.

In a small white cottage by the sea, Eli quietly launches a new career in Forward-Life Progression—a practice which pushes patients past their traumas and addictions to build a new resilient existence, one they can work toward simply by knowing it exists.But what happens when a client sees a future that includes Eli?

Life on a farm in Bar Harbor, Maine, has its shortcomings, not the least of which is the promise of a long, cold winter, haunting Eli with unopened boxes and a pile of letters marked Return To Sender. But only here, where the light is surreal, could transformation take place. Eli finds Hope; caring for two rescue not-dogs, Ink and Smudge, a pregnant cat, and a salt-of-the-earth handyman, Clem — he sees his own new future. He finds comfort at the Farmers Mar- ket, not in the mysterious fire cider and blueberry-flavored coffee, but in the natural beauty of the owner of Full Circle Farm, Rebecca.Can he keep his secrets and move forward? Is anyone ever really allowed to leave their past behind completely?
