Publisher's Synopsis
This is a short story about a young mother who lost her husband in a tragic act of terror in Iraq, and how she learned to cope with her loss and having to raise her three children on her own, without marketable skills. Marla Kettering learned how to survive by doing what she had to in the small town where she was raised. Her chance encounter with a man whose losses made hers small in comparison, and the subsequent relationship she forms with him are the story that gives her a second chance at happiness.
