Grief she can trust. Love she can't. A life-changing cab ride shoves her from the safe and familiar right into faith.
Reina Blackwell wants love to steer clear of her. After the untimely death of her husband, she is content to remain alone to grieve and raise her son. God, however, has another plan for her life: forthright, good-natured, firefighter Elijah Cooper.
Months before meeting her in front of their NYC apartment, a personal tragedy drives the now-reformed heartbreaker to reevaluate his life and his faith. An assessment that leads to seeking what he never desired-love.
Eli offers his heart to Reina but worries she will always remain in fear of loving and losing.
