Life is now quiet at Quail Crossings. The Brewer children have all grown up and started families of their own and Dovie Pearce is content. She’s married to a wonderful man, Gabe, and her adoptive daughter, Ellie, is a wonderful companion. But one cold March night, the peace is broken with a midnight knock at the door that ends with the cries of an abandoned baby by sunrise.

Joy Smith has fallen into her own quiet life. At sixteen, she has little to worry about, until she finds the marriage certificate of her parents that doesn’t make sense. She questions her family members, trying to figure out the mysterious document, but once she discovers the truth, her life is shattered.

Jaded by her parent’s lack of trust, Joy finds a kinship with baby Jeffery. When she finds out who the abandoned baby belongs to, she vows to make things right for him. Will her actions give Jeffery the life he deserves or is she putting him in the hands of the very person who will destroy him?

Born with a gift in the culinary arts, Autumn Young has dreams of becoming a celebrity chef. She soon finds herself one step closer to reaching her goal when she is hired as a co-host for a new show on the Flavor Channel.

Unfortunately, Autumn has another gift as well. She has a spirit guide named Bob, who gives her messages that need to be relayed, even at the most inconvenient times. To Autumn, Bob is like her uncouth uncle: he’s bossy, unrefined, and impatient, but she loves him like family.

Autumn is confused when Bob appears to have been replaced by a handsome, young man named Owen. Owen is unlike any other spirit guide Autumn has encountered before and his fits of pain and frequent disappearances make her fear he is in grave danger. Her life begins to spiral as she worries about Bob, Owen, and trying to hide her abilities to save her job.

Will Autumn keep her gift hidden from the world in order to make her dreams come true, or will she fight for Bob and Owen, even if it means losing everything?
