Two single parents find a chance for a new future in a delightfully uplifting romance by the acclaimed author of The Real Thing . . .
When recently widowed Joe Murphy meets Shawna Mitchell in an online forum, all he’s seeking is advice on keeping his home and his family together. Shawna’s compassionate e-mails become his lifeline, and as months pass their correspondence grows deep and warm. Discovering that Shawna lives only blocks away…well, it feels like more than luck. It feels a lot like hope.
With three children to raise, Shawna has no interest in getting close to another man, let alone one who’s got three kids of his own. And the fact that Joe’s white can only complicate matters more. But now, as they navigate family dates and vacations and their own doubts and fears, Joe and Shawna find themselves moving toward a future that’s bright, new, and totally unexpected . . .
