Ruth loves her husband, but she keeps secrets from him. Big secrets. When a notoriously lesbian neighbor returns home to Toronto from Art School in Montreal, Ruth finds herself unmistakably attracted. Agnes is quirky, creative, and significantly younger. Despite their age difference, Agnes welcomes Ruth's attention. But Agnes has secrets of her own. She plays hide-and-seek on Ruth, disappearing for months at a time. Where does she go? And what emotions are brewing between Ruth's husband and his closest friend? Everyone on the block seems to be hiding something.

She brought me coconut macaroons one day, special delivery. You'll never believe what happened next. I barely believe it myself. Who'd have guessed two girls on one block could harbor the same desire for such a forbidden act?
