   Summary

   Mel’s got a fool-proof plan for her life: take care of her sister and dad, finish college and go to med school. Frank’s white-knuckling it through his sobriety, and he clings to his sponsor, Mel’s dad, with everything he has left. When they meet, falling in love is the absolute last thing that should happen, but Mel and Frank do it as easy as breathing.

   It takes them more than ten years to do something about it.
