When a devastating tragedy shatters a cherished friendship, it takes forty years for the boys’ paths to cross again. One bears the lifelong scars of a single reckless choice; the other can barely remember his own name. Fate intervenes when mutual connections bring them together once more. Is it too late to make amends? Can forgiveness bloom after so many years?
Join number one best-selling authors Daniel Elijah Sanderfer and C.C. Black for a beautiful, heart-wrenching story of love and redemption, proving that time can heal even the deepest wounds.
