One morning, Eveleth 'Evvie' Drake got up, packed her suitcase, and got ready to leave her life - and her perfect husband - behind. But before she walked out of the door, she received a phone call asking her to come to the hospital. That day, Evvie's new life as a widow began. Now wrestling with her guilt and grief, Evvie has found her independence, but not the way she planned. Unable to leave the house she once dreamed of escaping, it's clear to her best friend Andy that Evvie needs a change. And Andy might just have the answer....

Smarting from her recently cancelled wedding and about to turn 40, Laurie Sassalyn returns to her Maine hometown of Calcasset to handle the estate of her great-aunt Dot, a spirited adventurer who lived to be 93. Alongside boxes of Polaroids and pottery, a mysterious wooden duck shows up at the bottom of a cedar chest. Laurie's curiosity is piqued, especially after she finds a love letter to the never-married Dot that ends with the line "And anyway, if you're ever desperate, there are always ducks, darling".

In letzter Minute sagt Laurie ihre Hochzeit ab. Sie ist, glaubt sie, nicht dafür gemacht, ihr Leben mit einem anderen Menschen zu teilen. Als dann ihre geliebte Tante Dot stirbt, übernimmt Laurie es, ihren Besitz im Küstenstädtchen in Maine zu sortieren. Denn zu Dot flüchtete sie als Kind, wenn es in der eigenen Familie zu trubelig wurde. In einer Holztruhe findet sie eine bemalte Holzente. Und einen Brief, in dem es heißt: "Denk dran: Wenn du mal verzweifelt bist, gibt es immer noch die Enten. In Liebe, John".

Em uma cidadezinha costeira do estado americano do Maine, Evvie Drake raramente sai de sua casa enorme e vazia, mesmo um ano após a morte do marido. Todos na cidade, inclusive Andy, seu melhor amigo, acreditam que ela fica trancada ali porque ainda está em processo de luto—e Evvie certamente não faz nada para mudar essa impressão. Já em Nova York, Dean, ex-arremessador profissional e amigo de infância de Andy, vive o pior pesadelo de um atleta em sua posição: não consegue mais arremessar e, o pior de tudo, não faz ideia do motivo.
