"When Miriam King's beloved husband, David, dies suddenly whilst out delivering their bakery supplies to the Englischer community, her world shatters around her, as if it were glass. Every ounce of joy that had once been a part of her life is replaced with a dark abyss of pain and suffering. Surely, she will never feel joy again. As Miriam spirals into deep depression, her once successful business begins to crumble around her. On the advice of her close friends, Jodie and Gabriel Turner, Miriam allows David's cousin Jonathan, to travel from Ohio to support her, on condition that he is only there to help get the bakery flourishing once more. When Jonathan arrives, Miriam can hardly believe her eyes, Jonathan is the spitting image of his kin and Miriam ponders on the wisdom of allowing herself to spend every day in his presence. As time moves on the couple find themselves drawn to one another. Can Miriam resist the strong feelings she is beginning to develop for Jonathan? And, when history repeats itself, will she realise what he truly means to her? Or has her heart been scarred too deeply to allow any sort of hope to fill the void left by the loss of her dearest David?" from the back cover.
