Rick was a VP for a leading investment company. His wife Rose was an executive too. But something was missing. It all felt so empty. They had everything they could want, it just seemed like they didn't want each other anymore.
An unexpected encounter with a homeless man, echoing the words his grandmother had said to him years ago brought home just how much he had changed over the years, how much he disliked the man he had become.
He took some time off, then reconnected with his grandmother. Started his life over, mourned what was lost, and began again.

Well, this is not what you imagine. This is a sweet, painful story about lost loves, second chances and the complications of blended families. You will laugh and feel the pain of every thorn as this rose of a relationship grows after being so severely pruned.
Once again Steven Manchester has shined a light on the things that make our lives complete. The painful moments as well as the shining ones. This is a book you should not miss!
