PROLOGUE

Everyone in their life has a defining moment, I thought mine had passed.

I was sure everything was unalterable the day I married my high school sweetheart.

Sarah and I would spend our life together, growing old together, and in love.

Then we had Penny, everything changed again. Yes, I loved my wife. But the second, I saw that baby girl I knew what it was like to love unconditionally.

As much as I love Sarah, it wasn't the same.

Yet, her birth was not my defining moment either.

Losing them in a car accident was. I was not the same man after they died in what could only be described as a tragic car crash. For awhile I wouldn't even leave the house, I stayed in Penny's room looking at her things.

Until I decided I had to pick up the pieces of my broken life.

I had to move on, no matter how much I was hurting.

The only way to do that was to change completely. Like I was reborn. The kind and gentle man wasn't there anymore.

I was persistent and determined. I had no human emotions left, until I saw her. She caused me to feel again. I had no idea that one person could have so much power of you, but she did. She had me from day one.
