Rebecca—the love of his life—was dead: killed by a drunk driver just days before the Yule holiday. Life for the man who loved her now held nothing—no profession, no possessions, not even the will to keep breathing. He dropped out and set out to walk hundreds of miles to the American Southwest. Why the Southwest? Because, in the desert, a man can completely disappear. The Universe, however, has a way of interfering with the best of intentions and helps this man find healing in the form of a tiny creature. In this heart-warming story, a man overwhelmed by grief and loss learns that Love never truly dies and life can again have a reason.
