Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate.

Nic and Jules are in a long term,
committed, loving but by no means perfect
relationship. Nic, a physician, needs to
wield what she believes is control, whereas
Jules, under that control, is less
self-assured. During their relationship,
Jules has floundered in her "nine to five"
life, sometimes trying to start a business
- always unsuccessfully - or being the stay
at home mom. She is currently trying to
start a landscape design business. They
have two teen-aged children, Joni and
Laser, Nic who is Joni's biological mother,
and Jules who is Laser's biological mother.
Although not exact replicas, each offspring
does more closely resemble his/her
biological mother in temperament. Joni and
Laser are also half-siblings, having the
same unknown sperm donor father. Shortly
after Joni's eighteenth birthday and
shortly before she plans to leave the house
and head off to college, Laser, only
fifteen and underage to do so, pleads with
her to try and contact their sperm donor
father. Somewhat reluctantly, she does.

Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a
modern woman is supposed to dream of having
- a husband, a house, a successful career -
yet like so many others, she found herself
lost, confused, and searching for what she
really wanted in life. Newly divorced and
at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her
comfort zone, risking everything to change
her life, embarking on a journey around the
world that becomes a quest for
self-discovery. In her travels, she
discovers the true pleasure of nourishment
by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in
India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the
inner peace and balance of true love in
Bali.
