He doesnt have the first idea of how to complete Helens beloved series and his enigmatic wife seems to have left no clues behind on how the story is supposed to end. Writers block is one thing but to fail in fulfilling his wifes last wish? Whit is guilt-ridden and dodging calls in the school pick-up line from Helens publisher...
