Darby Street and Russell Gunn had been inseparable friends since their times in the Horseshoe, the beautiful Baton Rouge neighborhood of their youth. But after graduate school, a tragic incident takes Russ’s life — and Darby’s world is definitely shattered. Her long journey to healing brings her closer to Russ’s sibling Ben, whom she starts to see through new eyes. Instantly love blooms in the place of grief; and now, by using the three wily and colorful aunts who elevated her, Darby encounters the task of reuniting Ben with his estranged father — if she and her aunts will get through the conniving plans of Ben’s interpersonal climber stepmother. Bit by bit, Darby discovers that loss can build new life — and love truly can overcome anything.
