"No one writes about love like Jill Santopolo."-#1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune

The long-awaited follow-up to Reese's Book Club pick and New York Times bestselling global phenomenon The Light We Lost: a thrilling love story about the roles fate and choice play in shaping a life.

It's been ten years. In case you're out there somewhere. In case you're listening, I'm here. And I have so much to tell you.

It's been nearly ten years since Gabe's been gone when Lucy finds a tiny piece of paper in a box of his old photos. An address in Rome. Why did Gabe keep it, and what was he doing in Italy? Lucy buys a last-minute plane ticket. Impulsive, but Gabe always brought that out in her.

Lucy's journey to uncover Gabe's secret leads her to Dr. Dax Armstrong, a New Yorker in Italy working with an NGO. His broad shoulders and sad, intense eyes draw Lucy in. His touch reaches her in a forgotten place-one that no one has neared since Gabe.

But her old life awaits, along with an earth-shattering decision-whether she and Darren should tell their son Samuel the truth about his father. How can Lucy move forward while she's rooted in the past? Fate broke her heart once. Can finding new love set her free?
