CHAPTER TWO

“It's not supposed to happen twice in your life, but it can.”

George Schneider is an author whose wife had just died. His brother Leo gives him the number of Jennie Malone, and somehow they hit it off. And just when things are moving along, the memory of his first wife comes between them.
