As she struggles with her grief, she is also forced to care for the friend’s adopted baby daughter. Her only hope is that some sense of normalcy will return in time. But with tragedy also comes unexpected joys. A blossoming romance with the head of a private school fills Paige’s faltering life with hope and offers her a love that she never thought possible. She explores how one can find meaning in life, even in the aftermath of death. Barbara Delinsky turns her storytelling skills to this inspiring tale of loss, love, and growth. Listeners can relate as the everyday people in her stories work to overcome seemingly impossible challenges, while finding strength in family, friends, and new life and love.

"This was a great book. It really pulled me in, and I related to each character. There is a LOT going on, but it all ends with a great lesson. The only thing that I didn't like was the descriptive sex scenes. " — Krista (4 out of 5 stars)

" Excellent character development, good description of environment (although I really got cold with all the running in the snow!) and community. Very believable. "
" VERY fluffy but that is why i picked it up. I thought I wanted a light fast book but it always feels like empty calories when you read her books. Enjoyable but not satisfying. Now onto this months book pick and I will be screaming for something light again. : ) "
