Recently widowed March Longfellow struggles with the issues never resolved between herself and her husband before his fatal boating accident. While March continues to commandeer the lives of her son, Mason, her pastor father, and the staff members of the small-town newspaper she owns, she also grapples with the deep grief of circumstances she could never control. To complicate matters, a know-it-all pastor, Colin Arnett, enters Candle Cove impromptu to take over areas of her life she is unwilling to surrender. As the Arnett family's lives become intertwined with her own, March finds her life completely turned around and thrust into a new direction--one she cannot control. March learns that as she lets go of the things of the past, God rekindles her own faith and joy and a renewed hope for love.
