A May-September Wedding

Shortly after thirty-five year old Phyllida Schuyler lost her husband in a car accident, Brenda Richardson, her long-time best friend, next door neighbour and mentor, was diagnosed with cancer. Brenda makes her husband Cal promise to help Phyl out where he can and gets the same promise from Phyl. Cal's youngest daughter and Phyl's oldest are as close as sisters. This means that Cal and Phyl are together frequently.

With their pre-teen daughters praying and hoping, their friendship deepens to attraction and mutual respect. As they spend more time together they head slowly but surely toward love but there is a major problem – Cal has three children older than Phyl.
