He closed off his heart when he lost his wife. She is trying to start fresh. Can they rekindle an old flame?

Elizabeth Burns feels like she’s waking up from a 20-year sleep. Decades of infertility, then raising an Autistic teen have taken their toll, and when Elizabeth realizes her distant husband is also a dirtbag, she shakes off the fog and heads for a new home and a new life.
Elizabeth and her son move into a cute house in a cute neighborhood…directly across from her high school boyfriend. But Kellen Brady is a man now. A man with as much baggage as she’s got.
As they get to know each other again as neighbors, they start to wonder if their story together could have a new chapter. Can the two of them wade through these muddy waters together without risking heartbreak?
