(PRWEB) April 21, 2004 -- To paint was her fondest dream...to walk was her greatest hope...to fall in love...unimaginable.

Ruth Moore has lost more than her job, her boyfriend, and her ability to walk. She's lost her desire to paint. Confined to a wheelchair, she views herself as a burden. Then she spies a handsome handyman with a sculptured body she feels compelled to recreate on canvas. But can she pick up a paintbrush again without losing her heart?

Mick Thomas is a successful architect trying to find a place to start over when he meets a shy sprite in a wheelchair. Consumed by new emotions and past mistakes, he hopes that Ruth will find it in herself to allow him to love her as he's never loved before.

Drawn together by circumstance, two tortured souls find comfort together. But too soon happiness is threatened by secrets not easily forgiven. Can hearts prevail when the truth is revealed?
