The two Americans in a foreign country eventually become friends and Nora helps raise Carley who is being passed off as Sheila's daughter. It is also in Stockholm that Nora meets Will's brother Ken. Ken talks in such glowing terms about Will that Nora decides to find him upon her return to the United States. When she makes the decision to leave Stockholm, she and Sheila trade identities in order to help both of them hide from those who might be looking for them. When Sheila is killed, Ken tells Nora that she—living with Sheila's identity—will be sought by both the killers looking for Ken and the police. Nora volunteers at Covenant House and falls in love with Will. It is Nora who tells Will's mother that Ken is alive though Will's mother is very near death and does not live for the reunion or the fallout from that event. Nora is a kind woman and genuinely loves Will.
