Nora Halpern, a thirty-two-year-old trapped in a gray life of spreadsheets and quiet despair, receives an anonymous photograph of an older woman who looks exactly like her, holding a sign that reads: "You have until November." More photographs follow, each a clue. Leaving everything behind, she follows the trail to a blue house on the Oregon coast. There she discovers Eleanor, the mysterious photographer who spent forty years sending these messages to strangers. Nora learns that the photographs are not predictions but invitations doors left open for the brokenhearted. In tending a garden and taking her own pictures, she finds family, purpose, and the courage to become the woman she was always meant to be.
