With her husband gone, bathing is the one constant in her new life. After finding herself in a desperate situation, Leanne only has herself to rely on. She became a nurse to help others, even as she resists help herself. Elaine has recently moved from England. Far from home and without her adult sons, her closest friend is a gin bottle.
