Rose and Maggie Feller are sisters with nothing in common but a shared shoe size and a childhood tragedy they have never truly faced. Rose is a thirty-year-old attorney, driven and responsible, who secretly dreams of a life beyond her demanding career. Maggie is twenty-eight, a stunningly beautiful free spirit who drifts through men and minimum-wage jobs, relying on her looks to get by. Their strained co-existence finally shatters after a profound betrayal, forcing them apart and onto entirely different paths.

Forced to navigate the world without their lifelong, if complicated, support system, each sister embarks on a journey of self-discovery. One finds her way to a grandmother she never knew, uncovering family secrets and a strength she didn't realize she possessed. The other begins to question the life she so carefully constructed, wondering if fulfillment lies outside of professional success. This story explores the complex bond of sisterhood and the difficult, often humorous, process of learning to forgive, accept, and finally understand what it is to walk in another person's shoes.
