About this book

Daphné Fields has tasted profound joy and devastating loss in equal measure—a loving marriage, a cherished daughter, and then the unimaginable tragedy that takes them both away. Pregnant when heartbreak strikes, she must find strength to welcome a child into the world while navigating grief so deep it threatens to consume her entirely. As she builds a new life and discovers her voice as a celebrated novelist, Daphné learns that healing isn't about forgetting the love you've lost, but finding the courage to open your heart again. This is a deeply moving story about resilience, the bonds that shape us, and the quiet possibility of happiness that can bloom even in our darkest seasons.

Soft indie folk and soul ballads about resilience, healing, and rediscovering love after loss. Acoustic guitars, ethereal vocals, and gentle piano underscore themes of grief transformed into hope. Artists like Bon Iver, Florence + The Machine, and Iron & Wine capture bittersweet strength.
