What happens when a husband's dying wish is for his wife to find a new love... before he's even gone?
Ben and Harper started off their marriage with a cancer diagnosis, but they eventually celebrated as Ben went into remission. Now they know what matters. Now they won't waste a second. But the cancer comes back, and this time, the doctors insist there's no viable treatment option. As they are ticking things off Ben's bucket list--sail a boat, ride an elephant, become a cashier, take the stage, jump out of a plane--Ben is forced to truly face his own mortality. He comes up with his final wish: He wants to find Harper a new husband before he dies.
Harper is resistant to this wacky plan. If she can't have Ben, then she doesn't want anyone. Finally, he lets it drop, but not before a journalist gets wind about His Crazy Idea. Before they know it, reporters are knocking down their door to write up such a romantic gesture of a husband's dying wish for his beloved wife.
When the New York Times sends a journalist to their house to do a feature, Harper opens the door to find the one man who got away. Or, rather, the man she spent one perfect week with a decade ago and never saw again: Leo Hale.
Suddenly, Harper is faced with old, unresolved feelings for Leo and her ultimate what-if. What would have happened if Harper had ended up with Leo? Is the grass really greener, or is she standing right where she should be, even as she inevitably faces the pain of losing the one she loves?
