When Brian Demers finds himself widowed, he’s completely at loose ends. Should he go to his cabin up north and shovel snow and become a hermit … or take everybody’s advise and go to Florida for the winter? Somewhat against his better judgment, he winds up in Islamorada in the Florida Keys. From there he goes north again, and back to the cabin on the lake where he helps restore an abandoned lighthouse … and meets the Keeper’s Girl. Somewhere in his odyssey, Brian discovers how to face his life as a newly single adult.
