Montgomery Miller, known to his kids and the townsfolk as Papa, rarely leaves his million-dollar ranch. When he does, it’s only to volunteer at one of the schools or attend a special event. He loves his children and his ranch life. If you ask him, he’d say his life is wonderful. If you ask his kids, they’d tell you he’s hiding away after losing his beloved wife 10 years ago to cancer.
And it really is time he get back to living again. But how do you help a man stuck in the past?
Then Papa meets the town librarian. And feelings surface that he hasn’t felt in years.

Can Montgomery and Jeanette heal enough to move forward, before their second chance at love is lost?
