Maya is floundering. She's stuck in a dead-end job, is isolated from family and friends, and her father-the only person that ever truly understood her-has been gone four years. When her boyfriend leaves her for another woman, the rocky foundations of Maya's life crumble to dust, and she sinks even further into the pit of grief and despair.Until she meets him. Sam. The one with the animated smile and gentle eyes, who always sees the positive no matter how bad the negative. Sam reignites Maya's passion through his enthusiasm and zest, helping to rebuild her life, piece by piece. But when ghosts from Maya's past resurface, her decisions almost destroy the few important relationships she has left, and the happiness she's so recently found is threatened. She must overcome her demons and decide what matters most-the familiarity of the past, or the hope, love and possibilities of the future.
