Though Lacy's brief marriage went disastrously wrong, she still has her daughter, Jessica. But there has been no man since Lewis, the one who loved and left her, twenty years ago.
Lacey is a woman in full control of her own life, devoted to raising money to fight a life-threatening disease. And if the pain of the past has not disappeared, at least it knows its place.
But now Lewis is back, determined to get to know his daughter. The truth he reveals wreaks havoc with everyone's life - especially Lacey's. She's terrified she may make the same mistakes - that she might fall in love...and lose once again.
