Then she meets Silas. He is kind, handsome, interested. But only a few weeks later, Oscar older, fascinating, troubled walks into her life, his two boys in tow. Suddenly Casey finds herself at the point of a love triangle, torn between two very different relationships that promise two very different futures. And shes still got to write that book . . .
