TRAGEDY HAS TORN THEM APART--
Dr. Michael Forsythe and his wife, Polly, have suffered a devastating loss. They deal with it in vastly different ways.
He works all the time. She sleeps late and shops. As a result, their marriage is mortally ill, and they don't know how to heal it.
And then a four-year-old patient of Michael's comes to live with them. Clover is a little girl only an angel could love. She's contrary, she bites, she whines, omigod, she wants to learn to smoke--and she makes it clear that Polly is not her favourite person.
She's everything Polly doesn't want in a child, but in the most unexpected ways, Clover's presence breathes new life into a troubled marriage.
Sometimes healing comes in the most unlikely package!
