Two years after settling into a new job, Thea Marchant meets handsome, worldly Michael Chamberlin and her safe and secure world is turned upside down. She and Michael end up in a whirlwind romance and move to a small town in Maine where Thea is first begrudgingly accepted by the locals, but eventually finds a place in their hearts. The intermingling of their lives becomes increasingly complex as Thea struggles to find her identity. Her ability to cope is tested time and time again as she is faced with one crisis after another, and without the support of the townsfolk, she would surely have gone under. Each Time We Say Goodbye is a story of love and courage in the face of adversity. It is also the story of Thea's remarkable children and their unending support for their mother, even though her decisions rock their lives.
