Promise Me Sunshine

Six months after cancer took her beloved best friend and roommate, Lou, Helen “Lenny” Bellamy is still adrift, spending most nights riding the Staten Island Ferry instead of returning to the apartment she once shared with Lou or trying to check items off Lou’s “Live Again” list. An experienced nanny, Lenny can keep herself together only for short-term gigs like a weekend with Ainslie, an eight-year-old girl with a single mom and a grumpy uncle named Miles, who seems to see right through Lenny’s fragile facade. Having lost his mother and cousin in a car accident years ago, and more recently his father and Ainslie’s pop pop, Miles is determined to be a lifeboat for Lenny, with no judgment. As Miles helps Lenny fulfill the items on Lou’s list, they both find they have so many things to live for.
