Paul looked up at me and winked. I felt slightly strengthened by his presence, as long as I didn’t think about wanting Randall to be there. It went against my polite instincts to wish for one over the other.
In the tradition of Jennifer Weiner, Camille Pagç–£, and Erin Hilderbrand, debut author Kelly Capriotti Burton brings a story filled with grief and humor that features a strong, searching, and mature woman — a perfect read for the beach and the book clubs.
Writer, beachcomber, and supermom of four grown children, Jessie Oakley is looking forward to a slower pace when Randall, her husband of 35 years, finally retires. Instead, she finds herself completely at a loss for her future after he dies suddenly in a tragic accident.
Soon – too soon? – Jessie and her newly widowed co-worker, Paul Jameson, begin to navigate grief together. Maybe no one should be surprised when the two affectionate old friends begin to see each other in a new light, begin to fall in love. Maybe heartbreak really can be sincere and shared all at once. Maybe age fifty-something is not too old for a second-chance at romance. Maybe, somehow, Jessie will find a way to be freed from guilt and doubt and embrace a brand-new chapter in her life.
