"Ever since the accident..."
Julieta cringes every time she hears those words. Everything lately is a result of 'The Accident' and she is over it: after almost losing her life, Julieta's had to make adjustments to deal with some of the challenges she now faces-physical therapy to regain use of her leg, lost school time and lower self-esteem, among them.
However, none of those changes compare to the ones in the people around her: her brother Manny is pushing her like he's never done before; her sister-in-law Sonia is nesting and treating her like a daughter; and Manny's friend Alex is now offering her the attention she's been craving from him for years. So maybe good things do come out of bad situations...
Except that when Julieta finds out why Alex has been so attentive, her world comes crashing down. With her already-fractured family now at odds with each other, she is ready to give up on the notions of fate, love, and happily-ever-after's when another accident shows her that sometimes the best love is one that begins accidentally.
