Carol Headley's life came to a standstill when a terrorist's bullet took the life of her husband, Wyatt. Two years later, she's still in mourning, refusing the demands of her friends and family members to move on with her life.
But when her best friend gives her six weeks of creative writing classes as a birthday gift, Carol can't say no. And to her surprise, she finds herself enjoying being in the company of other people again—especially the art teacher, Daniel.
A warm, friendly man, Daniel quickly draws Carol out of her shell as they share their creative endeavors, and he eventually convinces her to model for him. And as Daniel pours Carol's sadness into his painting, she begins to find the inspiration to love again.
