Description

He took one last look across tranquil Lake Huron in the moonlight and sighed. For ten months, this truth trek to discover the meaning of life, had gotten him nowhere. If Harrison Somerville didn't have answers soon, he'd come to understand what he had expected all along. There was no God. No truth. No love.

Lily Martin is at her wit's end. Being a single parent of a ten-year old is challenging. But Jasmine is no ordinary child. Gifted with an extremely high IQ, an unquenchable thirst for scientific knowledge, and a penchant for mischief, most days Lily wrings her hands in frustration. But the mother-daughter camping trip soon brings much bigger problems.

For the oddest reason, Lily Martin and her spirited daughter, Jasmine keep dropping in Harrison's path. Literally. Harrison is charmed by the antics and mind-boggling intelligence of the spunky child. Before long, he feels compelled to protect this mother-daughter pair from Lily's belligerent ex and a strange man that begins appearing on trails and her campsite.

And wonder of all wonders, Lily has the answer he's been searching for--so she says.

An imminent weather warning brings his truth trek to a crisis, while his feelings for Lily confuse and overwhelm him.

Then the unimaginable happens.
