Kate Miller is enjoying her life in New York City. She has
a no-stress job, lives with her mom and stepfather, has few
responsibilities and even fewer friends. She likes it that
way. She is not even thinking about returning to her
hometown of London, England, the town she ran away from
three years ago. But when her father turns quite ill and
needs a kidney transplant, Kate finds herself back in a
city full of painful memories.
As Kate returns to London, every place she goes and every
old friend she encounters only reminds her of the tragedy
that brought her world collapsing around her. Her memories
travel back to her first job as a successful magazine
editor, her many friends and the great times they had
together. She recalls Sean, her fiancé, their engagement
party and their wedding plans. But she also remembers that
dreadful day and the circumstances that changed the course
of so many lives.
Kate can't seem to put order into her world, no matter how
hard she tries. She fears the future, has little confidence
in herself and lets that interfere with her relationships.
Will she find the love of her life? Has she already found
him, but doesn't realize it? Is it too late to start over
again?
Harriet Evans captures the essence of the young 21st
century career women in THE LOVE OF HER LIFE. You will want
to empathize with Kate's tragedies and personal
shortcomings and celebrate her triumphs in this delightful
novel.
From bestselling author Harriet Evans, acclaimed
worldwide for storytelling that is "fabulous" (Sophie
Kinsella) and "brilliantly observed and emotionally
charged" (Daily Mirror, London) comes a dazzling new
novel of heartbreak, loss, and healing, in which a young
woman must cross an ocean -- and the chasm in her own
heart -- to discover the love of her life.
In London, Kate Miller had an enviable life: an exciting
job at a fashion magazine, an engagement and a wedding
to plan. Then it all fell apart -- spectacularly,
painfully, and forever. That was three years ago...and
she fled to New York City to live with her mother and
stepfather.
Now Kate is a true New Yorker, in love with the pace and
rhythm of Manhattan. But deep down, she knows her life
is in a holding pattern, that there is something --
someone -- more to love. But when her father becomes
ill, Kate realizes it's time to return and face the
friends and the memories she left behind. What really
happened before Kate left London? Can she pick up the
pieces and allow herself to love life again?
