What Makes a Family

by HiddenTreasures (lastbluetardis)

James McCrimmon has, for the past seven years, been a devoted, doting father to his daughter; though content with his life as it is, he can’t deny that single fatherhood can get quite lonely.

Rose Tyler is simply trying to make the best of a bad situation; after the untimely death of her boyfriend, she moves to the countryside of England to give her children (and herself) a fresh start. She wasn’t looking for love when love suddenly found her in the form of an endearing school teacher and fellow single parent.

The attraction between them is undeniable as they allow themselves this selfish joy, embarking in a deep and passionate romance. It seems as though they’ve finally found their happy ending, until James’s past comes back to haunt them. Until everything they’ve held so dear is threatened to be torn away. They must find a way to weather the storm that will either break them or draw them ever-closer, all while answering the question of what it means to be a family.
