Then came the shattering news that turned her life upside down: Lee's oldest son, Greg, is killed in a motorcycle accident. In her anguish & grief, she turns to police officer Christopher Lallek, Greg's best friend; together they grieve for Greg & begin to heal their pain. As their friendship blossoms, Chris becomes part of the family, helping w/ odd jobs around the house & joining in family dinners & backyard barbecues. Soon,Lee realizes she's experiencing feelings she never thought she'd feel again--she's falling inlove w/ this serious, gentle young man--and wonders what the world will think of their unexpected love affair. She finds her answer clost to home, for Lee's daughter has feelings of her own for Chris. Now the family that was once the core of her existence becomes a mixed blessing, as Lee must confront her own children to understand where family ties end--and a woman's need for love begins...
