   Summary

   When your grandmother leaves you a house outside Austin, you spend years saving to turn it into the family home you've always dreamed of. Then your marriage falls apart before the paint is even dry.

   As the renovation progresses, Joel Miller finds himself watching a woman build something beautiful while the life she planned quietly slips away. The smart thing would be to stay out of it. Unfortunately, Joel has never been particularly good at that.
