The minute Shelly sees Trevor Steinbord heading toward her dorm, Shelly Landon knows Don is dead. And with him die all her dreams. There will be no wedding after graduation. No house filled with the giggles of children. No future.

But Don's older brother has other plans. Trevor challenges Shelly to work through her grief by enrolling in a summer missions project in Haiti. Confronted by needs she hadn't imagined could exist, Shelly develops a new purpose and direction for her life.

As her world expands and her capacity to care grows, one question remains: What kind of man will it take to make Shelley's heart beat as it used to for Don?
