In Patti Callahan Henry’s vibrant debut novel, a wife and
mother discovers that although life has led her in joyous
new directions, she still secretly cherished memories of her
very first love.
Like most mothers, Amy Reynolds has anticipated the moment
when her son brings home his first serious girlfriend. But
when he does, she’s shocked to meet the girl’s father. He is
none other than Nick Lowry – the college boyfriend who
captivated her heart and soul and then, without a word of
explanation or warning, disappeared. She still remembers
what she felt for Nick…and she still wonders what took him
away from her.
Life has been good to Amy. Her marriage is satisfying, her
teenage children thriving. She loves her beautifully
restored home and her work teaching at the local college.
She has long since buried her memories of Nick. But she
can’t help missing the young woman she was then, full of
passion and promise. And she can’t help being tempted by the
life she might have lived…might still live – even though
making that choice would betray all she holds dear.
