A marriage renewal...


Erin has agreed to take her little boy to the Outback to meet his father – her ex-husband – whom she hasn’t seen for five years.


Seeing Luke again, Erin’s not sure how she’s supposed to act around the man she once loved so deeply. The memories of their marriage come flooding back... the happy times, and the reasons that tore them apart. Now Luke is determined for her to stay. Can Erin find the courage to give their marriage a second chance – and let them become a family again?
