Love. Family. Are these most important of human connections formed only by blood or legal documents? Or by something deeper and metaphysical? Julien and Aur lie have never been blessed with a child of their own during their 25 years of marriage. Angelica is a teenaged orphan longing for parents of her own. Fate brings the three of them together. They love one another. They become a family. What transpires over the course of their first year together changes them and their lives irrevocably and completely--for love is accompanied by pain and sadness.
