You have beautiful, world travel-vlogger superstar, Vanessa Price who has returned home to help her sister with the birth of her new baby - only for her sister to drop off her baby and never come back. This is on par with her families regular antics which Vanessa pretty much single handedly deals with 24/7.
Cue her next door neighbour and the building owner, Adrian Copeland, who is woken up at 3am to the screaming baby next door. He decides to go check on them (to hopefully get some sleep) and finds a very worn out Vanessa in desperate need of a shower. After this random encounter, their friendship really blossoms into something beautiful.
They become each other’s biggest support systems - Vanessa’s contribution is more spiritual & emotional whereas Adrian is like Vanessa’s rock. She’s been strong on her own for so long, Adrian is just there to lend whatever hand he can.
Abby has a great talent in writing very emotional, deep stories and characters and this one was no exception. It covers very heavy and triggering topics such as addiction, terminal illness, child and familial abandonment, mental health struggles - to name a few. But the end result is wonderful story of a family overcoming copious amounts of struggles to become stronger both together and as individuals.
