Emily Mitchel is trying to turn the experience of losing her brother into something positive - counselling patients with life-changing diagnoses and their loved ones. As she leaves St Catherine's Infirmary after an interview, she's drawn to a distressed parent and offers him her hard-won knowledge.

James Kramer had just been out mountain biking with his daughter. Then a gang of motorcyclists had roared through the car park... and hit his daughter. Now Susie is in surgery with a brain injury and no one is telling him what's happening.

From a tentative chat in the hospital's cafe builds a relationship neither Emily nor James was expecting. Both have wounded hearts. Both have weathered emotional storms. Can love really be found at the bedsick of a sick teen, or are their feelings just a trauma response? Is there truly sunshine after the rain?
