Subject(s): Summary: Midwife Clara Perry is accustomed to caring for her pregnant patients, and fathers-to-be as they anxiously await the birth of their children. But when Clara's life takes a sudden wrong turn, she does something drastic and runs away to start over again in a place where no one knows her or the mess she's left behind in West Virginia. Heading to the remote Sea Gull Island in Ontario, Clara reinvents herself as Sara Livingston, a writer seeking solitude. But there's no escaping the outside world. The residents are friendly, and draw "Sara" into their lives and confidences. She volunteers at the local medical clinic, using her midwifery skills, and forms a tentative relationship with a local police officer. But what happens if she lets down her guard and reveals the real reason why she left her old life? One thing soon becomes clear: no matter how far you run, the past will eventually catch up with you.
