Desperate to escape her abusive
marriage, Lilly Crawford files for divorce, then slips
away from her small east Texas hometown with little more
than the clothes on her back. She points her
twelve-year-old car east, hoping to find a new
beginning. When her car breaks down in Louisiana, Lilly
finds unexpected employment as the caregiver for a
wealthy neurosurgeon named Adam Wakefield, who lost his
sight in a recent carjacking. At first, this handsome,
brooding man reminds her too much of the angry husband
she left behind and she reminds him of how far he has
fallen from the self-assured man he once was. But as the
two spend long days together, an unexpected bond
develops--one that will be deeply tested. For Lilly must
confront her violent husband before she can ever hope to
move on and truly discover a second chance at life and
love.
