Summary
Carla and Lisa have known each other since high school, but life pulled them in different directions. Lisa pursued aviation engineering and became a pilot, while Carla went to medical school. Years later, fate brings them back together. Lisa, now a single mother to her four-year-old daughter Betsy after losing Becky in a car accident, reconnects with Carla in a story filled with warmth, love, and second chances.
