About this book
When Lou Clark lost Will, she thought she'd lost everything—but his parting words challenge her to actually live instead of just survive. After a accident brings her back to her small hometown, Lou joins a support group where she meets Sam, a paramedic who understands grief in a way few others can, and suddenly she's wondering if she can open her heart again. But when someone from Will's past reappears with unexpected ties to Lou's future, everything she thought she'd figured out gets beautifully, messily complicated. This is a tender story about how we heal, how we love again after loss, and how sometimes the life we end up living is even better than the one we'd planned.

“Create a playlist called After You. Soft indie folk and gentle acoustic pop for healing hearts learning to love again. Think Bon Iver, First Aid Kit, and Iron & Wine—wistful, hopeful, tender. Music for second chances and slow-burn connection, where grief transforms into gentle warmth.”
