Synopsis

Dreaming of a family: Widowed mother Dixie Stephenson never stopped blaming herself for her late husband's accidental death. Joe Slade, a wounded soldier, could be the answer to her prayers. The Mommy wish: Julia Windham's country house was her sanctuary-a quiet place where she could be left along to grieve her shattered dreams, but Nick Delaney and his daughter, Beth, moved next door.
