He was a man who didn’t deserve a second chance...but he
needed one
Emily and her husband Sandy Portman seemed to live a
gracious if busy life in an old-world, Upper West Side
apartment in the famous Dakota building. But one night on
the way to meet Emily, Sandy dies in a tragic accident. The
funeral isn’t even over before Emily learns she is on the
verge of being evicted from their apartment. But worse than
the possibility of losing her home, Emily is stunned when
she discovers that her marriage was made up of lies.
Suddenly Emily is forced on a journey to find out who her
husband really was...all the while feeling that somehow he
isn’t really gone. And what if he isn’t? Angry, hurt, and
sometimes betrayed by loving memories of the man she lost,
Emily finds comfort in a scruffy dog named Einstein. But is
Einstein’s seemingly odd determination that she save herself
enough to make Emily confront her own past? Can he help her
find a future—even after she meets a new man?
