═══  ABOUT THE BOOK  ══

Lily

 

Ethan and I were supposed to last forever.

High school sweethearts. Husband and wife. A family built on love.

Until he destroyed it.

One betrayal shattered everything I thought was unshakable, leaving me with no choice but to walk away from the only man I had ever loved.

Four years later, I’ve learned how to survive without him.

Now I’m carrying a truth heavier than his betrayal.

For the sake of our children, I have to find the courage to tell him.

Even if it means letting him back into my life.

Even if it means giving him the chance to fight for forgiveness.

• A love story fractured by silence, secrets, and distance

• Chronic illness representation
