Rebekka and Marc have waded through thousands of miles of separation and years of uncertainty about their feelings for one another. But now they are blissfully together, anxiously awaiting the day when they will be married for all eternity. Then disaster strikes, and Marc is left fighting for his life. When his situation worsens, he pushes Rebekka away, convinced that his time is short and that she should be free to find a life with someone else.

On a beautiful summer day Rebekka's life changes forever. Devastated, she struggles to somehow find the will to go on—to live without the one person she thought she could never live without. Handsome widower and longtime friend André Perrault would like to help her find joy and love again, but Rebekka's determination to hold onto the past makes a future relationship doubtful. Or does it? Can André find a way to heal Rebekka's broken heart?
