But one day - all too soon - that love and support is suddenly stripped away, when the old man dies. Now all Gary has left is memories - and his granddad's rosary beads, which Edward had been clutching when he died. Plus, as the young man soon learns, a tidy fortune and a beach house on the Connecticut shore. In trying to cope with his emptiness and grief, Gary throws himself into his work. And other diversions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he meets Michaela, everything changes.
