Married for thirty one years and devoted mother of three, Laura all but forgot what it was like to put herself first. Now, recently widowed and her children far from the nest, she is astonished to discover that being alone does not necessarily mean lonely. Especially when Steve, her high school sweetheart, turns up on her doorstep with her favorite flowers, tells her she hasn't changed in thirty years, and sweeps her off her feet all over again. But rekindling an old flame is not without complications. Laura's Mary daughter moves back home "temporarily". Steve's son needs him- in Arizona. When Laura passes her real estate exam, Steve grumbles about dating a 'working woman'. Perhaps latter-day love is more trouble than it's worth. But Laura's heart tells her differently. With Steve's strong arms around her, she feels cherished and young all over again.
