description: Charlotte Parker has just lost the most important person in her life to a horrific accident. Now that she has to move back to her small hometown in Virginia, she doesn’t know what to do with herself. Lost and feeling alone, she has to put up with a setup on her first day back. Jesse Greene isn’t into blind dates set up by his grandmother, but she always insists upon introducing him to any new woman in town. The stutter that he’s lived with his entire life has left him lonely in the love department, until he meets Charlotte. She doesn’t mind his stutter or the fact that he doesn’t talk much because she’s too caught up in her own grief. Together, they’ll learn how to maneuver a relationship that doesn’t involve much talking. Then again, the body can speak volumes.
