Mac cannot handle the memories assailing him when he is around Carrie so he decides to buy her train ticket. As soon as the snow if off the tracks she will be out of his life and he can go back to not feeling anything. Or has he found his heart can love again after all?
I cried both times I read this. It is such a touching story.
**There is a subtle sexual situation.

This was a great book. Jillian Hart is becoming one of my favorite authors. This one made me laugh and cry.
