In this emotionally charged and inspiring novel about a love
triangle, secrets between best friends threaten to blow up
friendships and a marriage and change lives forever.
When Miriam’s fireman husband, Chauncey, dies while rescuing
students from a school fire, Miriam feels like her life is
over. How is she going to raise her three children all by
herself? How will she survive without the love of her life?
Luckily, Miriam’s sister-friend Emily and Emily’s husband,
Jamal, are there to comfort her. Jamal and Chauncey grew up
together and were best friends; Jamal and Emily know they
will do all they can to support Miriam through her grief.
Jamal steps in and helps Miriam with the funeral
arrangements and with her children, plus he gives her hope
that she has a future. But all the time that they spend
together—grieving, sharing, and reminiscing—brings the two
closer in ways they never planned. . . .
