Book excerpt: Single mom Annie Hillman has been coping with trouble for so long. She's just getting through the days. Seemingly out of nowhere a local newspaper carries an ad featuring a picture of a young Annie on the front page, with an earnest message of love and regret from an unknown admirer. The paper’s editor refuses to name names, but the ads continue to appear, and when the story breaks, Annie finds herself in the national spotlight. Now, for the first time in years, Annie is beginning to see that joy might be possible even in the midst of hard times-and that the life she's led, along with the people she’s loved, might still show her the way.
