But one sunny spring afternoon changes everything. In an instant, a terrible accident leaves Josh in a coma and his family torn apart. Suddenly, Carli's world stops spinning. Determined to stay strong, she throws herself into helping Josh's family and holding on to hope, even as secrets start to surface that make her question everything she thought she knew about him.
