Weeks before her daughter was born, she and her husband, Tim McIntosh, received the news that every parent fears.

But one of the many hard choices Diane has made is to close her heart toward any man - especially one named McIntosh. It will take a very special twelve-year-old to remind them all that love comes in many forms, and can be received with as much grace as it is given.
