When 60 year old Kate Harris is suddenly widowed after 40 years of marriage, she hasn't a clue as to what happens next in her life. Should she remain the same old dependable Kate, safe at home although the husband who made all the decisions and paid the bills is gone forever? Or should she shake off the dust settling on her and grow up, A deep breath taken; a decision made and Kate takes a risk. She goes to a recycling-single-men party where she meets a secretive widower, Mac McCord. The attraction is instant. They begin a love affair. She teaches him to play tennis-her favorite sport; he teaches her to a shoot gun-his obsession with security. Their time together is brief. Unaware that she's stalked by a sociopath, Kate will need all the skills Mac taught her in order to survive.

This is a story of courage and growth in a mid-years woman. With humor and determination, she picks herself up and keeps going.
