Gayle Fortman has built a good life for herself and her
three sons in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Divorced
from charismatic broadcast journalist Eric Fortman, Gayle
has made a success of Daughter of the Stars, a popular bed-
and-breakfast. She has even maintained a cordial
relationship with Eric, covering with the boys for his
absences and broken promises. Family was never a priority
for her ex-husband, even when they were still married.
Luckily Travis Allen, her closest neighbor, has been a
loving surrogate father to the boys and her own best
friend.
Then, on the eve of oldest son Jared's graduation, Eric
returns, but not for the celebration. He nearly lost his
life in Afghanistan. Worse, he has lost his way and his
courage, and needs a place to recover. Gayle realizes this
might be the last chance for her sons to establish a real
bond with their father, and offers him a summer at the inn
and a chance to put things right. Gayle and Eric are all
too aware that the love and attraction they once shared
are still there. But can the pieces of their broken lives
be mended, or are they better laid to rest?
