Rosalie is a thirty-five-year-old single mother of two. She has no option but to move across the ocean to England, relying on her family's help to get her back on feet for a fresh start.
Except she hasn't a clue of what's to come until she meets twenty-five-year-old Theodore Murphy - a young, handsome, ambitious English man who pursues Rosalie despite her burdensome past or their age-gap. Her insecurities, as well as her metaphorical scars left from a previous marriage, won't allow her to move along so easily.
Is this lust or love? Will this blossoming connection have what it takes to survive the roadblocks ahead?
Rosalie will have to put her pride aside and search within herself to find the will power and strength necessary to move forward in her life. A rebirth of sorts.
That's the source of everything.
