<b>Twenty years and several pounds ago ... </b><p>I was Bernice Strum, hairstylist to the stars. Until I fell for - and got pregnant by - Alex Scott, a handsome actor with a career on the rise. But I gave my baby up for adoption and moved across the country to settle in Prichett, Wisconsin. I made friends, started a faith journey, and then one day I got a call from my now-adult daughter that turned my world upside down ... and brought Alex back into my life. Now he's here (living in my dream house!) and he wants to pick up where we left off - but how can I trust his picket-fence promises when he's not a believer in anything but himself?</p>
