Abigail is alone, living with a guilt she cannot overcome. Present for her father's untimely death, she feels she should have been able to save him. Once a vibrant, driven young woman, Abby has withdrawn into herself-to the angry disappointment of a boyfriend who wanted to manipulate her grief for his own benefit. Then Nolan, an old crush from high school, reenters Abby's life. The two make an immediate connection. Together with Abby's best friends, Sam and Jenny, Nolan helps Abby shed the grief and guilt that threaten to overwhelm her. The old Abby remerges once more, ready to take on the world and experience the passion and joys of love. Life, however, has other plans. By summer's end, the four friends will be forced to deal with a second tragedy. Has Nolan's love and Sam's fiercely loyal friendship given her the strength she'll need, or will Abby lose herself to grief a second, final time? A tale of friendship and love, Begin Again explores the emotional extremes of grief, recovery, and hope-feelings we are all fated to experience.
