Candace, a wealthy American who has finally left her husband for her Afghan lover, the enigmatic Wakil ...
Isabel, a determined journalist with a secret that might keep her from the biggest story of her life...
And Halajan, the sixty-year-old den mother, whose long-hidden love affair breaks all the rules.
As these five discover there's more to one another than meets the eye, they form a unique bond that will for ever change their lives and the lives of many others.
