forever.
"A multi-leveled, beautifully written story that will glow in readers'
hearts long after the last page is turned."--Kristan Higgins, New York
Times bestselling author
Can the course that they've set for the future handle a slight
detour...?
Macey and Ben Samuelson have much to be thankful for: great friends, a
beautiful--if high-maintenance--Victorian house on idyllic Tybee Island,
and a rock-solid marriage. The only thing missing is what they want the
most. After her fifth miscarriage in six years, Macey worries that the
family they've always dreamed of might be out of reach. Her sister
suggests adoption, but Macey and Ben aren't interested in pursuing that
path...until a three-legged golden retriever named Keeper wags his way
into their home and their hearts.
Harper Wheaton just got kicked out of another foster home and it won't
be the last if she keeps losing her temper. She's not sure why she gets
mad; maybe because no family seems to want a nine-year-old girl with a
heart condition. She loves her social worker, Cora, but knows that
staying with her forever isn't an option. Will she ever find a family to
call her own?
As a physician's assistant, Macey meets lots of kids. Harper Wheaton's a
tough one, but Macey knows the little girl has already struggled more
than most. It gets Macey and Ben to thinking about all the children who
need homes. Then Harper goes missing, and one thing is suddenly crystal
clear: life is complicated--but love doesn't have to be.
