From the author of How to Save a Life comes a heartfelt story of two people finding the courage to choose love, no matter how hard it may be.
Gemma thought she had her future all mapped out. She had a wonderful husband, a cute apartment, and plans to start a family. But just months after their wedding, illness took her husband from her. And now she finds herself trying to think up new dreams, when all she really wants are her old ones back.
Across town, Dans also rethinking his life. Hes about to meet his twelve-year-old daughter, Casey, for the very first time. Shes tracked him down because she needs a place to stay for the summer while she receives treatment for a brain tumor at the city hospital, and Dan is terrified he wont be up to the task of taking care of her; after all, hes structured his entire life so that no one has to rely on him.
But when fate (with the help of Gemmas scruffy terrier, Bear) brings these three strangers together one scorching July morning, theres an instant connection among them. And it soon becomes clear that this summer could change everythingif only theyll let it.
Will Gemma, Dan, and Casey be brave enough to let love in and build a new life together? Or will they let fear keep everything theyve ever wanted just out of reach?
