We start out with Jane's daughter Melody's passing from a drug overdose. Jane is struggling with her daughter's death. She sees a young man place a coin on Melody's grave. She takes the coin and eventually goes in search of the young man. Eventually Jane finds him. He is named Caleb, is a musician and is homeless. She takes him home with her and allows him to stay with her provided he does her desperately needed landscaping. She thinks Caleb has a connection with her daughter Melody but she learns that Caleb knows very little about Melody. Jane and Caleb develop a romantic relationship but Jane knows it can't last because Caleb wants to go to Austin, TX to pursue his music dreams. He asks Jane to go with him but she refuses. Jane is also hung up on the age difference between her and Caleb because she's in her 40s and Caleb is in his 20s. This gives her another reason not to go to Austin.
Jane and Caleb's story had it's ups and downs. It was an emotional roller coaster for me. It made me laugh and cry and fall in love with them as they fell in love with each other . Their story spoke to me on so many levels and is a very sweet read.
As long as Mr. Winfield keeps writing books I will keep reading them.
