After suffering a personal crisis, high-powered attorney Jen Kramer comes to Montana for a much-needed break. While recuperating, she does a bit of self-evaluation and discovers that she’s missed the proverbial boat. She’s forty, unmarried, and childless, and toils in a less than savory career. When she volunteers to teach a high school drama class, the experience unearths long-buried joy and unrealized talent. Periodic run-ins with the handsome, single dad of one of her students, as well as his adorable children, further knock her off balance. As she gets to know Dan and his family, she falls in love with each of them and finds healing from her turbulent past. Might they be the balm to an otherwise disappointing future, as well?
Dan Edwards is instantly wary of the beautiful drama teacher his daughter idolizes. She reminds him way too much of his ex-wife. One flighty woman more interested in her career than her own family was plenty. He doesn’t plan to make that mistake again. But, Jen Kramer is much more than she appears. She soon earns his respect and wins the affections of his children, though he’s convinced she couldn’t possibly remain content for long in a small town like Silver Springs. But if she goes, will any of them recover from the broken hearts she’ll leave behind?
