I somehow stumbled onto this book, found out who the author was & had to read it. I LOVED it....it's a wonderful story line of 2 lonely people trying to make their busy lives worthwhile & then find each other. One traces down the other & then finds out his secret as to his sadness. But, in bringing out what she knows, he too finds a secret that surprises him. Have the tissues ready cause the ending will surprise you. We ended up buying the DVD which follows the book very well & it's become a favorite of my husband's & mine to watch together. We even love the soundtrack to the movie.
