Synopsis

Smart and likable, Bernie Fine is the wonder boy of Wolff's, New York's most glamorous department store. A senior vice president on the way up, he arrives in San Francisco to open a West Coast store. His career is skyrocketing, but his life is lacking a center.

Then he looks into the wide, innocent eyes of five-year-old Jane O'Reilly, and then into the equally enchanting eyes of her mother, Liz, and knows he has found what he has been looking for. Bernie believes he has found a love to last a lifetime. But when Liz is stricken with cancer shortly after the birth of their first child together, time becomes painfully short.

Alone with two children, Bernie must face the loss and learn how to move on: new people, new experiences, a new life. He meets it with courage and humor, and learns some of life's hard but precious lessons as he does.
