Depression and loneliness are her constant companions until her best friend, Nicole Hendricks, persuades her to broach her fears and attend an autumn party. Scared and feeling ostracized from the world, she nearly decides to leave the gathering when her path crosses an old boyfriend.
Jerrick Mason, an honorable man with his own heartaches, who is forever trying to evade his family’s questions about his future, asks Rhianna and her girls to join him and his family for Thanksgiving under the pretense of being his girlfriend. When Rhianna accepts his proposal, they are both sent into a whirlwind of healing past pains and the discovery of a new relationship together. But forever blocking her path are the memories, heartache and the loyalty Rhianna still feels toward her lost husband. Through her friendship with Jerrick, she must overcome her fears or face the possibilities of being alone forever.
