window of Tremont's Antiques as a gift for his grandmother, Lottie Sparks, a
woman desperate to find him a home before her rapidly progressing Alzheimer's
left him an orphan. Teddy didn't know that in trying to buy the clock he would
meet Sylvia Winters and Joe Dixon, a couple, once in love, desperate to overcome
the past. He didn't know he would form a friendship with his neighbors, Floyd
and Doris Culver, two people struggling to revive their long-dead marriage. He

the love of his friends would change his world, and that he would forever change
