A year after a long overdue visit ends in the tragic death of Ciara's husband, something draws her to the beach in Sumner New Zealand. Away from the orchard; the distraction she's used to try and forget. Is it fate or something else that guides her and her dog Macintosh, to that beach, on that morning, for a walk? A walk that will change her life forever.And what, or who, is it that brings Aidan, a Bonita Fireman, halfway around the world so that a stray volleyball can lead him to someone? Someone he's sure he knows. Someone that every sign, every gesture, every path, every beam of light keeps pointing to.***The authors invite you to enter this wonderful story of caring and friendship that quickly turns to love. A story guided not by fate, but perhaps someone watching over the one he was forced to leave behind. A story that suggests that love has no boundaries and that it doesn't end when one partner is no longer with us; that love and caring don't die when we do.
