description: You can't play roulette with fate-some relationships are just meant to be. A common thread of grieving over lost loved ones draws 32-year-old Amanda Blake and 18-year-old Matthew Brown into each other's arms. Passion propels the unlikely lovers into a relationship that binds them forever. Conflict and resolution move through emotional upheavals of sorrow, grief, abandonment, single parenthood, professional success, and fame. But innocent love is never forgotten. Eighteen years later, now successful author and screenwriter Amanda and international diplomat Matt reunite, and Matt stumbles upon the secret Amanda had kept all this time-eighteen-year-old Elizabeth.
