Soon, I had a daughter to raise, but when Grace was diagnosed with autism, her mother took off. I was all alone... until the day Crystal walked into a conference room with the key to my daughter's success, and the key to my heart. However, convincing her I'm worth a second chance is proving much harder than I ever imagined, and asking her to meet Grace and face the ghosts from our past may be more than either of us are ready for.
