Ezra Thorne is a man built from shattered pieces held together by duty and desperate love. Every morning he kisses a photograph. Every night he dreams of arms that held him back. For three years he's been half-alive, raising two children who need their mother, working a job that feels meaningless, visiting a hospital room that holds his entire heart. To the world, he's surviving. To himself, he's drowning. But he keeps breathing, keeps hoping, keeps loving a woman who can't love him back.
