Melody grew up in a series of foster homes and never felt she'd had anyone who truly loved her.  She finds her calling, however, as a hospice care nurse.  That is why, when one of her favorite patients wills his home to her, she jumps at the chance to put down roots.  Unfortunately, the sweet old man co-deeded it to his absentee nephew as well - a nephew Melody resents for his complete inattention to the old man she has grown to love.
