She was the last person to see him alive.

Hannah Granville knew there would never be answers to her questions. How could Father commit suicide, leaving his wife and children destitute? Did he have any inkling of their fate? How did she fail to understand his intention? Could she have saved him? Was he a coward?

Too busy making a living to spend time in the past, Hannah is virtually alone in the world. Her siblings have been taken in by relatives across the country; her mother, too frail and distraught to care for herself much less her children. The only thing getting Hannah through most days is her imagination. In her mind, next-door neighbor Hollis Rumsford is the answer to her prayers and the object of all her girlish desire.

Practical matters obliterate her hopes and dreams. Family obligations could prove Hannah's complete undoing. Hollis was never interested, looking on Hannah much like an obnoxious little sister. He only has eyes for her sister Lucy. But fate is about to put Granvilles and Rumsfords on a shared path to an unimagined destination.

Will mutual bargains and temporary treaties lead to a lasting relationship or will Hannah's doubts and Hollis' shortcomings divide them forever?
