After a letter from her dying father finds her in San Francisco, Lily Lester returns to her hometown of Mayfly, New Mexico to say goodbye. She doesn't expect to find the man she once loved caring for her father at the town's recently-completed hospital, or that the rest of the town was slowly blossoming back into life.
Almost ten years earlier, Lily left Mayfly pregnant and alone, but when the men who loved her discover she's returned they're both eager to get to know her again. Dr. Daniel Evans understands her need to flee the then-dying town, while Anthony Gibson wishes that she'd stayed in spite of everything. Both men are determined to win Lily's love, but when her daughter joins her in town, she knows she'll have to make the best choice for both of them, but will it come at the cost of her heart once more?
