But when Leo Marshall, the new guy with a smile like sunrise, walks into her life, Neela begins to wonder if it's finally safe to let someone in.

With Selena, Jason, Michael, Bianca, Mia, and Benjamin by her side, she's learning that healing isn't about forgetting-it's about believing again.
Because sometimes, the heart needs a little light to find its way back home.
