Colin loses his wife and his daughter her mother when she passes due to cancer. After eight months he is still grieving but career wise he is thriving. He's offered a promotion at work and talks it through with his mother and daughter on whether he should take it. The promotions requires them to move across country allowing Colin to start a new but displacing his daughter. When his daughter okays it the two move to starting their new life, meeting new people and finding life keeps moving.

Colin's interaction with his daughter and family was a nice sight to read about. I did feel for Colin's loss, the memories with his wife really translated well in the book and you could feel how deeply he loved her. The memories were a bit heart wrenching. Graces strength too was very inspiring. All the characters were very likable with the exception of Colin's brother towards the end. Ben was a great character and I liked the change the two wrought in each other. I liked that it was a subtle shift in their relationship instead of a full blown passionate development between the two.

I liked the idea of Colin finally moving on with the help of Ben and his daughter acceptance of everything. Colin did come off as a really great father. I enjoyed the ending immensely. It was sweet.
