For Dan, the hardest obstacle to serenity is leaving his agonizing past behind. Can he accept the truth and allow light to dispel lingering shadows, bringing joy to his family? He has found his purpose, his family, and his beauty of life. Do Lexa and Dan have the courage to trust one another and risk all to be together?
