What to expect

An utterly heartwrenching story about love, loss and second chances that will break your heart and put it back together again.

You’d do anything to protect the ones you love

When Zoe Henry’s best friend Lou dies suddenly, her world shatters. But she must set aside her grief as she’s named guardian of Lou’s two young children – a role she never expected to be taking on.

With her own kids grown up, Zoe was finally beginning to rediscover who she was. Starting over as a mother was the last thing on her mind. But as sleepless nights turn into shared laughter, something begins to stir in her – a new sense of purpose.

But just as Zoe starts to believe this unexpected second chance might be the start of something beautiful, a secret left in Lou’s house threatens to unravel everything.

Now Zoe must face not only the secrets of her best friend’s past, but the fear that she might lose the fragile new family she’s come to cherish.
