Then Miles meets Sarah Andrews, his son Jonah's second grade teacher. Sarah had left Baltimore to start her life anew after a bitter divorce. Perhaps it is her own emotional wounds that make her sensitive to the hurt she first sees in Jonah's eyes, and then his father's. Tentatively, Sarah and Miles reach out to each other. Soon they are both laughing for the first time in years, and also falling in love.

Neither will be able to guess how closely linked they are to a shocking secret-one that will force them to question everything they ever believed in. As a result of this secret, a heartbreaking choice will have to be made that changes their lives forever.
The review of this Book prepared by Boppy




Miles has never recovered from the death of his wife and high school sweetheart, Missy, by a hit-and-run accident--in fact, he's obsessed over it. When he meets Sarah Andrews, a divorcee recently transplanted to the area, at parent-teacher conferences, he becomes interested in a woman for the first time since Missy's death. This story is about both of them healing and finding solace in one another, but it is also about the person that accidentally killed Missy. And when that truth comes out, it could destroy what Sarah & Miles have built.
