As life passed me by, so did the people I met along the way.
Sometimes too soon.
After that one particular incident, it left me defenseless.
As if someone had stripped me of my skin and disarmed me of my emotions.
I had to find new layers of protection.
Then I met Dane, Audrey, Cassie, and Lilly.
They taught me how to find little moments of happiness beneath all the trauma.
Each of them enriched my life in ways I didn't think I'd feel again.
Boy did they make me feel again!

Dane and Stella are riding life's rollercoaster with all the bumps and turns that come with it. Dane is a newly divorced single dad with 3 girls starting life all over again. He soon learns he's spent too much time away as a SEAL and he needs to relearn who his girls are. Stella is on the journey of her life with Tux, her dog. Life has dealt her a brutal and devasting card. She's right where she wants to be...alone.

But alone isn't necessarily what is good for her.
