Blurb:  How­­ much heartache can one man take before he breaks? Rich Langston asks himself that question every day.

His traumatic childhood has ruined any faith he had in people, friendship, and love. After a meltdown that led to him alienating everyone in his life, Rich agrees to help with the restoration of an antique sailboat as a form of penance.
