Newly widowed, Carrie is overwhelmed by the guilt of knowing her marriage died long before her husband's fatal heart attack. Struggling to go on for the sake of her teenaged daughter, Ruth, and her overly possessive mother, Dana, Carrie slowly emerges from the sorrow that has embraced her and begins to pull her life together, with help from an unexpected source. Jess, Carie's first love, re-enters her world and offers her the lifeline that will help her pull herself out of the drowning place she's been in.

The relationships in this book are developed so well, between Carrie and her mother and daughter. It was a bit slow to start, but it gains momentum and really gets good. At the end I was sorry to have it stop.
