Darby
Lane and Russell Gunn had been inseparable friends from their early
years in the Horseshoe, their wonderful Baton Rouge neighborhood, all
the way through to graduate school dreams and beyond. Then the
unthinkable happens: a tragic accident takes Russ's life, and Darby's
world is shattered.
Her long journey to healing takes hold as
Darby begins to see Russ's brother Ben through new eyes. Suddenly love
blooms in the place of grief and Darby faces the challenge of reuniting
Ben with his estranged father -- if they can get through the conniving
schemes of Ben's social climber stepmother. Like the custom dollhouses
Darby creates with tender care and patience, she begins to understand
that loss can build new life -- and love truly can conquer anything.
