In New York Times bestselling author Beth Harbison's most
emotional novel ever, a fractured family must come together
at a beach house haunted by the past.
Willa has never fully recovered from the sudden death of her
husband, Ben. She became an absent mother to her young son,
Jamie, unable to comfort him while reeling from her own grief.
Now, years after Ben’s death, Willa finally decides to
return to the beach house where he passed. It’s time to move
on and put the Ocean City, Maryland house on the market.
When Willa arrives, the house is in worse shape than she
could have imagined, and the memories of her time with Ben
are overwhelming. They met at this house and she sees him
around every corner. Literally. Ben’s ghost keeps
reappearing, trying to start conversations with Willa. And
she can’t help talking back.
To protect her sanity, Willa enlists Jamie, her best friend
Kristin, and Kristin’s daughter Kelsey to join her for one
last summer at the beach. As they explore their old haunts,
buried feelings come to the surface, Jamie and Kelsey
rekindle their childhood friendship, and Willa searches for
the chance to finally say goodbye to her husband and to
reconnect with her son.
Every Time You Go Away is a heartfelt, emotional story about
healing a tragic loss, letting go, and coming together as a
family.
