Left widowed with a twelve-year old daughter and a teenaged son, Jessa Langdon rearranged her life and filled it with enough demands on her time to provide a stable life for her family, and lack of time to dwell on her husband's death for herself.But when handsome, hard-bodied Rick Grant, her kids' swim team coach, suddenly stops her breath and reminds her that she's a woman without a man in her life,she harbors secret fantasies.  Could he be the man to help her truly move on?He's younger than she is, though--and the kids, who are her life, don't seem ready to move on.  Can Jessa allow herself a relationship at the expense of the happiness and order she worked so hard to build after her husband's death?This is my first Linda Carroll-Bradd short story.  I read it while fixing supper and eating, a great treat for the busy lives we all share.  Fun, tense, and totally relatable, Dipping a Toe In is a  story for today's reader.
