"An affecting tale about finding happiness amid grief and guilt." --Booklist

Twelve years ago, newlywed Kate Waithman had it all--until the day her husband, Patrick, the love of her life, was killed in a car accident.

More than a decade later, Kate has found happiness as a music therapist and has finally fallen in love again, with a kind man named Dan. Life should be perfect, except that on the night she and Dan get engaged, Kate begins having jarringly realistic dreams in which Patrick is still alive--and he and Kate have a daughter. The dreams feel so vivid, so right, that Kate has to wonder: is Patrick trying to tell her something?

Attempting to navigate between dreams and reality, Kate must uncover her husband's hidden message. Her quest leads her to a sign language class and into the New York City foster system, where she finds rewards greater than she could have imagined--and learns that even in loss, love never really leaves, but waits to guide us exactly where we need to be.

Such a good book!

I love this book! Contemporary story that grabs your attention from the start

This book came to me at the perfect time

I was drawn in to the life of Kate and the could appreciate her emotions and response to them. This book was thoughtful and inspiring, with a whimsical touch. I don't know how this book came to me when it did, but the lessons it brought couldn't have been more timely. I couldn't put the book down, I wanted to know the outcome so much, I almost finished it in one day.
