Megan, a blocked mystery writer, is still recovering from the suicide of her emotionally-abusive husband. Will a tour of Egypt help rebuild her feelings of self-worth? It might even help break through the paralytic writer's block that's gripped her for several years...

Daniel, a choir director and music professor, is just finishing up a sabbatical at Oxford. Before returning home, he signs on for a tour of Egypt, which has been on his bucket list for a long time. He still has no idea why his mentally-ill ex-wife left him years ago, taking their daughter with her...
