In her most powerful novel yet, New York Times
bestselling author Marie Bostwick weaves the uplifting
story of three grief support group dropouts—women united in
loss and rescued through friendship.
Fifteen
years ago, Grace Saunders vowed to take her beloved husband
for better or worse. Now she’s coming to terms with
difficult choices as she crafts a memory quilt from scraps
of their life together—a life torn to shreds by an accident
that has left him in a coma. Enduring months of limbo, Grace
is at least not alone.
Nan has been widowed for
twenty years, but now, with her children grown, her home
feels painfully empty. Even the company of her golden
retriever, Blixen, and a series of other rescue dogs, can’t
fill the void. Then there’s Monica, a feisty woman with a
biting wit who’s reeling following her husband’s death—and
the revelation of his infidelity.
As for Grace, a
chance evening with a man she barely knows brings a glimmer
of joy she hasn’t felt since the tragedy—along with feelings
of turmoil and guilt. But her struggle to cope will force
all three women to face their fears, share their deepest
secrets—and lean on one another as they move from grief and
isolation to hope, and a second chance at happiness…
