But nothing will solder their lives more fatefully than Charlotte's pregnancy and the day on which she delivers twin boys, then dies of complications following their birth.
Together, Knox and Bruce--sister- and brother-in-law in name, but strangers in every other respect--take up the work of caring for Charlotte's two motherless boys. In their mourning, and in the joy...
