Plot Summary of Winter Mournings
"When Kathryn Miller's parents are killed in an auto accident, just ten years after her husband of three days was killed the same way, she sells the family home and moves to Niagara Falls with her cat, Eli, against the advice of her two best friends. She meets Tom Morgan at her new job, who is responsible for the care of his brain-injured brother. Though each of them thinks they will be alone the rest of their lives, once they meet, it's magical. But will family members or evil co-workers break them up, or can they persevere?"
