Her She’s the definition of lost. Doesn’t know her name? Check. Cruelly beaten within an inch of her life? Check. No memory of anything that's happened since she woke up from that beating? Check.

Walking into this story, you have to accept a lot at face value. A man believes that his wife is dead for 6 years. One day a woman shows up at his work and begins watching him through Dora the explorer binoculars. The garage where he works is full of ex military men who also work just outside the law to help victims of DV escape but they let her watch for a few days.
When she comes to the garage, she screams his name and lo and behold she ya his dead wife. She’s had amnesia. But she knows him.
If you can hang with that, then it launches into typical Freebird story territory:
1. Lives on compound
2.Sam’s asshole dad is connected
3. The wives are bitchy at first but come around
4. A kid says something inappropriate but adorable
5. Curvy girl who is pretty okay with her body
6. Some misunderstanding involving one of the women being relocated and no communication
7. Loss of friend with a secret
8. Unprotected sex+ birth control+ antibiotics= pregnancy
