Susan Leighton heads to Seattle, nicknamed the Emerald City, to start her new job, when she receives a call from her Private Investigator, her sister is there, somewhere in that sprawling metropolis. She had been separated from her sister and brother, after a tragic incident in her childhood, and had searched for them in vain.

Driving home one day, she sees ‘it’, a dilapidated Mustang convertible, setting kattywampus on two flat tires, and for some unexplainable reason she wants to buy it.

Her life starts to change.

She enters a very different world at Leon’s Auto Body Shop. The young people she meets there would scare her if she met them at any other place, but underneath their rough exteriors, she finds caring, loyal, young kids exist. She also finds she has an unerring rapport, talking with, reaching the young people she meets there.

When she has finally achieved success, her life suddenly spirals out of control. Overhearing a terrifying conversation at her work place, in fear, she flees Seattle to start a new life.

Going back to where ‘it’ happened for the first time in almost 20 years, she finds she cannot live there. Minnesota, beautiful land of 10,000 lakes, holds too many heartrending memories. She meets Max and Sam, who are traveling from New Orleans. No explanation, but somehow she trusts them and ends up traveling with them to Idaho, where they end up making their home.

Susan meets Colin Devereaux, Max and Sam’s nephew, who has rebelled against the boring life of working in the family run bank and participates in the exciting sport of being a race car driver. For the first time in her life one thought enters Susan’s mind. Could she love this man? Visiting Colin in New Orleans, he begins to act strange. She wonders, does she really know him?

What secret could he be hiding?

There comes a point, where she must make a decision. Should she go back into the corporate world, or stay working with the young people?

Before Susan can find true happiness, she must come to grips with her guilt, the insecurities that continue to haunt her from the past. Will she find the answers, the key to unlocking the secrets before it’s too late?

From Seattle, to sultry New Orleans, comes a story of double identity and love.
