The Synopsis



From the Back Cover



Since her mother’s death, Mýa Day has been no stranger to loss. But with a budding new singing career on the horizon and help from Jack and Mary Tanner, a couple that understands from experience how a troubled past can prevent someone from having a better life, Mýa finally gets a fresh start.


A new romance with Michael Davis, a handsome real estate agent, also has Mýa doing eighty miles per hour down Love Lane. That is, until a painful memory throws up a roadblock and causes the couple’s joyride to come to a screeching halt.


Enter Matt Tanner—Jack’s nephew with magnetic blue eyes and a welcoming smile. He slowly works his way into Mýa’s heart, showing her the kind of love that fits like a perfect pair of blue jeans. But when a tragedy strikes and Michael reappears, Mýa must choose between the men in her life, come to terms with her grief, and seek out an answer to the question that’s been burning in her heart.


Can you love someone like me?

2. If you were in Michael’s shoes, would you have held Mýa responsible for what happened to his brother? Why or why not? Do you feel Michael should have forgiven Mýa?

6. Seeking help from a professional counselor was suggested to both Mýa and Michael, yet both refused. Do you feel that talking to a professional counselor might have helped them or even saved their relationship? If so, how? What are some of the misconceptions people might have about getting help from a professional?
