The feelings of despair and hopelessness, over the sudden death of her husband, temporarily lessened, giving her clarity and motivation.



Determined to take responsibility for her life, Laura seizes her fledgling courage and makes a decision that shocks and surprises her family and friends. She quits her long-term job, leases her home, and sets out on a new journey.



Optimism, tempered with a dash of apprehension accompanies Laura along the way. But will a brief encounter, with a motorcyclist that September day, be a catalyst that shakes both their lives? Jacob Wieter, on his journey, wants to make peace with a painful past, Will his intentions to start over and fulfill the longings of his heart, come to fruition?

Experience comes from living, but when faced with a choice, will her doubts overtake her and the unlived future? Will her newfound courage fail her?



In a long slow waltz and neither, Laura nor Jacob are sure how it will end.
