After the successful heart surgeon Reese couldn’t save his wife, he became disillusioned with himself and with his profession and secluded himself in a cottage by the lake, earning his living by repairing boats and trying not to think about the past. But one day, going into the city for shopping, he saw seven-year-old Annie. The girl’s story struck him. She sells lemonade in the square to save up money for her surgery. Pity for the child and interest in her aunt—restrained and determined Cindy—made Reese swear to save the girl. And will anything be able to get in the way of that?
