Plot: Miles Ryan and his wife Missy were sweethearts in high school. Eventually, they married and settled down in New Bern, North Carolina. Then Missy gave birth to a beautiful boy named Jonah. The Ryans' had the average American life but they were caring and devoted peaople to the town of New Bern. As Missy was jogging her young life was cut short in a hit-and-run accident. There were no witnesses and no answers for Miles, who suddenly became a widower with a young son.Two years later, Miles has tried to move on, but reminders of Missy are everywhere, but to remeber her he watched old video tapes of her. Since his mother's death, Jonah has had difficulty with school. His former teachers just let him do whatever he wanted out of sympathy for his loss. Jonah's second grade teacher, Sarah Andrews, devotes her free time to helping him. In reality, she's helping Miles as well. For the first time since Missy's death, Miles has feelings for another woman: Miss Sarah Andrews. As Miles and Sarah get to know each other through the months a dark secret is revealed. Sarah's brother confessed to Miles that he comitted the awful crime that flipped Miles life upside down. About me: "Everytime she went out, she found something new to interest her, something that would make her stop and stare."

Friends: Miles: Determined or tenacious, loves Jonah and Missy, caring, and doesn't want to give up on finding Missy's killer. Sarah: Loves teaching, caring, beautiful, with a quirky sense of humor that makes everyone like her. Brian: Sarah's brother, lives with a devastating secret that almost eats him alive, depressed, and loves his family.

Friends: I think Miles is like Charlie from "Charlie St. Cloud" because Charlie doesn't want to let go of his little brothers death and Miles doesn't want to let go of Missy's death. Therefore they can't move on and build another future.

Hobbies: Miles like to watch home videos of Jonah and Missy and have lunch with his best friend Charlie Curtis. He also t like to talk to Sarah Andrews because it doesn't make him feel the lonliness he feels at home.
