The Music of Marcus

When Carrie Arnold's only son, Jonathan, received a diagnosis her husband wasn't equipped to handle and he left her, she thought the melody of her life had been rendered permanently discordant. For twelve years she's single-handedly kept a stable environment for her son. At forty-four, she's resigned herself to being single. She's proud of the strength and independence she gained through her struggles, but when a hit and run accident sends Jonathan into a coma, she discovers her strength may not be enough. During the tense weeks of Jonathan's hospitalization, Carrie begins to rely on his handsome physiotherapist, Marcus, as her friend--and then more. She's attracted to him in ways that feel completely inappropriate under the circumstances. And worse, she hasn't been exactly honest with him about Jonathan's limitations. Could a younger man really contemplate changing the tune of her lonely life, or is Carrie hearing music where none exists?
