The long-awaited follow-up to the 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.

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

Lucy is surprised by what she finds, pushing her one step farther to uncover Gabe's secret, and crossing her path with that of Dr. Dax Amstrong. A New Yorker in Italy with Doctors Without Borders, 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, and an earth-shattering decision—whether to tell her son Samuel the truth about his real father. How can Lucy move forward while she’s rooted in regret? Fate broke her heart in the past. Can finding new love set her free?
