Sherry Kasal, diagnosed with type-1 diabetes at five, hopes to tap into her mathematical prowess to find a cure for autoimmune conditions like her own. She stumbles upon a painting of a little boy trapped in a snowstorm. This picture brings back what she’d felt during the near-death experience she’d had as a child. Sherry later meets a writer, Shaddy Haas whose face reminds her of a visage she had seen during her near-death experience. Their otherworldly connection urges Sherry to resume work on an abandoned mathematical model that could help restore malfunctioning immune systems, reversing autoimmunity in millions of people. Alas, circumstances wrench Sherry and Shaddy apart. Sherry, who reluctantly marries a lawyer, lands in Manhattan, where she scrambles to pick up the vestiges of her shelved research dream and realizes that she’s living a lie. Meanwhile, she must unravel a flabbergasting secret that links Shaddy to the painting of the boy in the snowstorm, if they are to find their purpose…and their way back to each other.
