Abigail Darwin needs one thing in life: consistency. Okay, make that two things: consistency and order. Tired of being shackled to her obsessive-compulsive mind, Abigail is determined to break free. Which is why she’s shaking things up. Fresh out of nursing school, she takes a traveling nurse position. A new job in a new city every few months? That’s a sure-fire way to keep her from settling down and falling into old habits. First stop, Cunningham Falls, Montana. The only problem? She didn’t plan on falling in love with the quaint little town, and...its resident surgeon.

Veintiún cuentos como veintiún soles nublados. Ágiles, desinhibidos, simpáticos y ocurrentes, no rehúyen —quizás incluso la buscan— la pátina áspera o rugosa, cuando no directamente fúnebre o trágica. Cuentos para morir de risa, aunque tal vez no tanto, o, tal vez mejor, para sonreír de muerte. Cuentos sobre los finales —del amor, de la amistad, del deseo…— y sobre la puesta en escena de los dramas cotidianos y los desastres inevitables.
