After the death of his son, the sound of childhood laughter brought only pain to K-9 police squad officer Matt Burkett. But it’s the silence his wife Caroline couldn’t stand. She wanted a baby; Matt couldn’t bear the thought of loving–and possibly losing–another child.
Fourteen months after their only child succumbed to leukemia, Matt and Caroline separated. One year apart, they said. One year to heal, to learn to live again. Now the year is up, and lives in limbo must resume.
But living again means facing the truth–about the secret Caroline has been keeping from Matt and about the depth of the grief he’s hidden from her. And it’s the truth that makes Matt see that while he’d followed Caroline to the old country home where she’d taken refuge this past year under the guise of ending their marriage, now that he’s here, keeping Caroline is the only goal that matters.
