The long-awaited follow-up to the 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 Amstrong, 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?
"Santopolo's layered storytelling brings Lucy's internal conflict to life while offering the perfect blend of heartache and hope. Readers should have tissues at the ready." —Publishers Weekly
"The Love We Found is a book every woman should read. Jill Santoplo's stunning follow-up to her smash-hit The Light We Lost is a deeply emotional exploration of our secret lives, innermost desires, and the mistakes that change families forever. No one writes about love, in all its beautiful mess, the way Santopolo does." —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After
"The Love We Found is the breathtakingly redemptive love story we've been dying for. Exquisitely written, it proves that love is possible again and again. Santopolo writes with such emotional precision that you will feel every heartbeat on every page—her novels are like guided tours of the heart." —Annabel Monaghan, national bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script
"The sequel we all wanted. An inspirational tale of resilience, and finding peace, joy and love after devastating grief and loss. Where The Light We Lost broke my heart, The Love We Found mended it." —Paige Toon, international bestselling author of Seven Summers
