“It’s easy to say how it happened. He walked past a building, and a huge chunk of ice fell off the roof, and it hit him in the head.”
Jay Berman lingers in a coma as his wife, Lainey, waits for him to recover. She hopes to reach him with reminders of their life together: sweet-smelling flowers, his softly textured shirt, and
spices from their kitchen. Through her ordeal, Lainey is sustained by her relationships with two very special women, each of whom teaches her about friendship and the power of hope.
