About the Book
Kate is a young mom trying to rebuild her life in the aftermath of tragedy. It is hard to let go of her husband when she has a son who needs to remember he had a father who loved him. Not to mention, love notes left behind keep reminding her of all she lost. She relies on her best friend and the kindness of her boss to pull her through, but a secret threatens to unravel all she has fought to maintain.
Despite the heaviness of the topic, hope and humor shine through it all. If you're looking for a sweet love story that will take you through every emotion, then this is the book for you.
