Hearts break, but true love never dies. Jack has a choice: follow the only path he has ever known, the one created by his abusive and alcoholic father before him, or step off it and make something of his life. In a seemingly other world, and with her parents leading lives too busy to care for anyone but themselves, Lucy grows up with a feeling of neglect. She sets off, leaving behind the small town she knew, and the young man she secretly loved, to follow her dream of being a published author. A chance encounter brings Jack and Lucy together again. Will the chance to live happily ever after keep them together, or tear them apart for good?
