Waiting to die isn't an easy thing to do especially without any possible chance or hope for a cure for the kind of cancer that Kathryn was diagnosed with and the very same that claimed her mother and grandmother as well. When she is stricken with a painful memory of a time when her life and those of her closest friends changed, she decides to relive it. And even though her best friend and a little girl battling Leukemia, which she has taken under her wing, believe a miracle may still happen; Kathryn knows the bitter truth. That her time is running out but not before she has the chance to tell her tale. The memory of coming home to her hometown of Rosewood after being away at medical school was a life altering moment for Kathryn Caplynn. Her life was good and where she wanted it to be. She thought sure she was ready to step in as the town's faithful doctor and marry the man she thought she loved until she stepped off the train and ran into her high school sweetheart. Zach Matthews's only reason for headed back to where everything fell apart because of a drastic mistake that caused him to lose the love of his life, was to see if he could right a few wrongs. Seeing Kathryn again, only affirmed his love for her and made it stronger. The only trouble: she wants nothing to do with him. Ever. After an intense emotional argument leaving Kathryn in tears, they part ways. The next time he hears about her, Kathryn has been kidnapped. Now it's a race against time to find her before something dreadful happens and to reclaim the love they had before it's too late. That memory has a special place in her heart as do a few others, but Kathryn hopes that when her time does come, that her family and friends find a way of coping with her death and that remembering the happy times is what matters most.
