Fern Michaels spins a compelling, unforgettable story about love, family, friendship, and the courage it takes to let go of the past . . .

At seventeen, Rosalind "Lin" Townsend finds herself pregnant and alone. Her father, deeply religious yet cruel, throws her out of the house. Nick Pemberton, the baby's father who she naively hoped might propose, rejects her. At the lowest point in her life, Lin vows to succeed on her own and give her son, Will, all the love and happiness she's been denied. Nineteen years later, after making good on those promises, Lin crosses paths with Nick.
