Short description
Acclaimed novelist Luanne Rice returns to the heart of the family in her newest tale. Abandoned by her husband before their daughter's birth, Dianne Robbins has spent years caring for her child's every need almost alone. It was her husband's pediatrician brother Alan who stood by them, and who fell in love with Dianne. But Dianne has closed her heart toward men. It will take a very special 12-year-old to remind them both love comes in many forms.
