Two years after losing his teenage daughter, Hope, to Leukemia, Clay Andrews is still trying to recover. He’d ended the marriage to the cold woman who’d abandoned their sick daughter during the last six months of Hope's illness. Since then, he'd been reluctant to let another woman into his life. While attending his cousin’s wedding, he meets the bride’s beautiful younger sister, Allie, and decides it’s time to get on with living. Allie Sarver is emotionally scarred from twenty years of marriage to a cheating and verbally abusive husband. When her “walking cliché” of a husband divorces her for his younger, thinner secretary, Allie ends up alone in the struggle to teach her two teenage daughters’ morals. Thanks to her ex, she only sees herself as the frumpy, un-sexy, and frigid woman he’s always accused her of being.

Just as he begins to see the hope of a new relationship, his ex-wife shows up, bearing a soul-crushing secret . . . one with the power to deal a far-reaching and devastating blow.
