Kora and Tony intend to start over. But en route to Salt Lake City, their car breaks down near the struggling mining town of Helper, Utah. Then Tony abandons Kora in Helper.
​
Alone, broken, and angry, especially that her family was right in their judgment against Tony, Kora decides to stay in Helper and aid in its art-centered transformation.

But in working to save her new home, Kora learns first love only happens once. For a second chance at love, a much greater risk is required.

"HELPING HELPER is well-crafted romantic fiction about complicated relationships and loves lost and found. Set in the run-down town of Helper, Tara C. Allred has written an interesting, heart-warming read, replete with a nice ending. "
