Returning from their trip, Ivy sees her opportunity to fulfil her promise as a writer. When her dreams of a relationship with Carl are shattered, Ivy picks up the pieces and makes her way back to the green beauty of the Ozarks. There, she finds the promise of yet another relationship and reaches for it.Ivy thinks she finally has it all. What could possibly go wrong? Ivy finds that no matter how close she comes to achieving her promise, something can always go wrong. And when it goes wrong for Ivy Chandler it really goes wrong.
