Overview

When it comes to love and family, the things you can't see are what matter most of all. Bestselling novelist Luanne Rice has inspired the devotion of readers everywhere with her 'rare combination of realism and romance.'(The New York Times Book Review) Now she presents her most magical novel to date, an entrancing story of love at first sight, the true meaning of family, and angels right here on earth. May Taylor works as a wedding planner, passing on the timeless traditions of her grandmother and mother. The Taylor women have always believed in the presence of magic in everyday life - especially the simple magic of true love and family. Yet May's own faith in true love was shattered when she was abandoned by the father of her child. Still, she finds joy in raising her daughter Kylie, a very special five-year-old who sees and hears things that others cannot... Martin Cartier is a professional hockey player and sports legend. His father, a champion, taught him to play to win - at all costs. Now Martin's success veils a core of heartache, rage, and isolation. Yet Kylie glimpses the transcendent role Martin will play in May's life and her own - unless his past tears their blossoming love apart. Then only Kylie will see the way home - and only May will be able to lead them there, if she can believe in magic once more.
