The last thing Theodore Abbott expected upon his beloved wife’s death was his mother-in-law to threaten to take away his daughter, Elizabeth, as well.

Torn between love for his departed wife and the terrible prospect of losing the only remaining piece of her, Theo must make a choice, and perhaps even find new happiness for himself along the way.
