Lexie McCain an artist who has lost so very much in her life, now spends her days weaving the story of her life into beautiful tapestry in a small work room attached to her cottage. Some days she paints but most days she weaves the good and the bad from her life into art. Every Monday she walks to a local bar and has one beer, then leaves to go home. One Monday night Sam the bartender asks her JUST ONE THING and she tells one thing from her life and another and another. Tragic, loving and happy times by only answering JUST ONE THING every Monday night. Each week Sam and Lexie become smitten with each other.
But one Monday, Lexie surprises Sam and asks him, JUST ONE THING and Sam each Monday tells Lexie of his life story. Of his being at war, coming home injured, losing many friends and more. But the one thing they both learn is that life can go on again even after they thought all has been lost, but once again love can be found!
I look forward to reading more of Holly Jacobs books. Do not pass up reading JUST ONE THING; I lost my husband last year and by reading this book I know that there is more in my future now. JUST ONE THING is an amazing read and pulled at my heart strings. A recommended read!
βSometimes, you find yourself inadvertently in the dark. But
Iβd discovered that if you stopped fighting against it and
just stood still, sometimes something marvelous comes
along.β
Artist Lexie McCain spends her days literally weaving the
story of her life into a gorgeous tapestry. But on Monday
nights, she walks to the Corner Bar, drinks a Killianβs, and
answers the same question every week from Sam the bartender:
βOne thing?β She starts with her name, then her cottage,
slowly moving on to the devastating tragedies that tore her
life apart.
Sam Cornerβs smile doesnβt seem to hide any pain. One night,
Lexie turns the tables on him, asking Sam, βOne thing?β To
her surprise, Sam reveals his own tragic history. Together,
Lexie and Sam learn that, with good beer and a trusted
friend, sharing just βone thingβ might lead to the one thing
they both thought was lost forever: love.
From award-winning author Holly Jacobs comes the story of
heartache, hope, and the power of sharing just one thing.
