About this book
When a grieving deputy still raw from his wife's tragic death two years ago meets his son's kind second-grade teacher, he doesn't expect to feel the stirrings of hope and laughter again—but Sarah has a way of reaching the hurt places in both father and son's hearts. As their tentative connection deepens into something real, Miles and Sarah discover that healing is possible, even when you've convinced yourself it isn't. But their budding romance becomes entangled in a shocking secret that challenges everything they believe about each other and the past they thought they understood. This is a beautiful, emotional journey about second chances and the impossible choices love sometimes demands of us.
