Women's Fiction
Three lives. One unexpected chance at love and healing.
When Olivia Ellison receives the call that she’s been named guardian of her autistic half-brother, Lucas, her first instinct is no. She’s got a thriving career at the New York city law firm where her father once worked, a place she’d always thought of as a second home. Moving to Greenwillow, Pennsylvania to take care of a brother she hasn’t seen in years? Not happening.
But when Olivia arrives in Greenwillow to turn down the assignment, she reconnects with the brother she’d forgotten and meets Nate Wilder, his charismatic caretaker, a man with a big heart and an even bigger secret.
Nate Wilder didn’t plan on being a caretaker. He’d planned on a prestigious life with an impressive career. Then “it” happened – the incident he never speaks of – and everything changed. Instead of seizing the day, Nate lives in regret. But when Olivia arrives, she brings with her a glimmer of hope.
As Lucas, Olivia and Nate traverse a new normal, they grapple with emotions of loss, anger, guilt, loneliness, and love in search for a sense of belonging. And home.
