Book Synopsis

A grief-stricken widower learns to open his heart again in this touching and emotionally charged novel from New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer...

A man of unshakable faith, Eddie Olczak derives intense pleasure from the life he's built with his beloved wife, Krystyna, and their two daughters. But when a tragic accident cuts Krystyna's life short, Eddie is sure his heart is broken forever.

Sister Regina, the girls' teacher at St. Joseph's school, has always felt a special affinity for the Olczak family, but the strict rules of the Benedictine sisterhood have kept her from getting too close.

Now, as Sister Regina and Eddie cross paths, they realize there is a connection between them that goes beyond their shared love of Krystyna and the girls. Thrilled--and secretly frightened--they must summon the courage to look within their hearts and make their own choices.
