Life is good for Liz and Jack Sutherland. In 18 years of marriage, they had built a family, successful law practice and a warm, happy home. Then, in an instant, it all fell apart. It began like any other Christmas morning, with joy and children's laughter. But for Jack Sutherland, a 5-minute errand ends in tragedy. Powered by her children's love, Liz finds the strength to go on. And one by one the holidays come and go before her eyes. Then, just weeks before Labor Day, a devastating accident sends her oldest son to the hospital - and brings a doctor named Bill Webster into her life.
