This is a family drama novel about up-and-coming musician Danny Meacham, whose life is turned upside down when the brother he hates goes into a coma and Danny is stuck holding the plug. With his brother's life or death in Danny's hands, he is forced to come to terms with the past and make the biggest decision he's made in his life. Along the way, he falls for Danny's pretty nurse Veronica. Used to using women and leaving them, he isn't sure if this is simply lust, or heavens forbid, something more.

The characters are flawed and not very likeable, but fully believable. The plot is plausible, and the small-town setting is descriptive and realistic. The overall moral of the story is good.
