For decades, her husband's steady devotion was enough. Until the day it wasn't. After losing him to illness, the silence he left behind isn't peaceful-it's hollow. Now in her late forties, Tessa finds herself aching for a family she thought she'd made peace without.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer plan is simple: adopt a child, build a new beginning, and fill her home with laughter again. But adoption agencies don't see mothers in their forties-they see risks. Hope comes unexpectedly through a new student in her yoga class: a Child Protective Services agent who knows a pregnant teen in need of a safe place to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTessa opens her door-and her heart-but love has a way of complicating even the purest intentions.
