A Reason to Grieve

You should cry at a funeral, right?

When Tom Lewis and Emma Cairnes meet dry eyes across the room, they realize they share the same awkward problem.

Neither has cried in years.

It should be a match made in heaven except, you know, all those pesky secrets from their past keep getting in the way.

But when their support system contains a feisty seventy-nine-year-old with a blue rinse, and an unusual Elvis impersonator, overcoming their fears is challenging. With walls this high between them, it’s going to take a lot more than attitude and gold sunglasses to break them down.

It’s going to take a good, hard, ugly cry and a sledgehammer.

Or, perhaps, losing the love of their life.

That might make them cry.
