But for Josephine and Jake, there was one person who adored them. One person who knew how to lead them to happiness. And one person who was intent on doing it. Even if she had to do it as her final wish on this earth…“

Suzanne: Great review, Maryse, I know what you mean about the synopsis. I too thought that it did not sound like KA. But, I was pleasantly surprised and totally loved it. Joe was classic KA Alpha.
