    A grief-stricken widower learns to open his heart again in this touching and emotionally charged novel from New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer…

    A man of unshakable faith, Eddie Olczak derives intense pleasure from the life he’s built with his beloved wife, Krystyna, and their two daughters. But when a tragic accident cuts Krystyna’s life short, Eddie is sure his heart is broken forever.

    Sister Regina, the girls’ teacher at St. Joseph’s school, has always felt a special affinity for the Olczak family, but the strict rules of the Benedictine sisterhood have kept her from getting too close.

    Now, as Sister Regina and Eddie cross paths, they realize there is a connection between them that goes beyond their shared love of Krystyna and the girls. Thrilled—and secretly frightened—they must summon the courage to look within their hearts and make their own choices.
    Praise for the novels of LaVyrle Spencer

    “A superb story.”—Los Angeles Times

    “You will never forget the incredible beauty of LaVyrle’s gifted pen.”—Affaire de Coeur

    “Spencer, famous for her heart-rending slices of Americana, delivers the goods again.”—Publishers Weekly
    LaVyrle Spencer is a contemporary and historical romance novelist who has written twelve New York Times bestsellers. Whether set in the Old West or in present day suburban Minnesota, a Spencer novel means seeing love in a new light and meeting characters so real it's all you can do not to climb into the pages yourself. Several of Spencer's books have been made into movies (Publishers Weekly called one of her television deals "precedent-setting") and in 1988 she was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. She lives with her husband, Dan, in North Oaks, Minnesota.
