| Summary |
"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-a wonderful husband, a cute apartment, plans to start a family. But just months after her wedding, illness took her husband from her. And now she's trying to think up new dreams, when all she really wants are her old ones back. Across town, Dan's also rethinking his life. He's about to meet his twelve-year-old daughter, Casey, for the very first time. She's 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 won't be up to the task of caring for her-after all, he's spent his entire life only having to look out for himself. But when fate-with the help of Gemma's scruffy terrier, Bear-brings these three strangers together one hot July morning, cracks begin to appear in the walls they've each built to protect themselves. And soon it becomes clear that this summer could change everything. 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 they've ever wanted just out of reach?"-- Provided by publisher. |
