Overworked and underappreciated, single mom Amy Byler needs
a break. So when the guilt-ridden husband who abandoned her
shows up and offers to take care of their kids for the
summer, she accepts his offer and escapes rural Pennsylvania
for New York City.
Usually grounded and mild mannered, Amy finally lets her
hair down in the city that never sleeps. She discovers a
life filled with culture, sophistication, and—with a little
encouragement from her friends—a few blind dates. When one
man in particular makes quick work of Amy’s heart, she risks
losing herself completely in the unexpected escape, and as
the summer comes to an end, Amy realizes too late that she
must make an impossible decision: stay in this exciting new
chapter of her life, or return to the life she left behind.
But before she can choose, a crisis forces the two worlds
together, and Amy must stare down a future where she could
lose both sides of herself, and every dream she’s ever
nurtured, in the beat of a heart.
