“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?

Ten years after the heartbreaking events of bestseller Santopolo’s The Light We Lost, Lucy Carter Maxwell gets a second chance at life and love in this tear-jerking romance. Lucy’s passionate affair with late Associated Press photographer Gabriel Samson ended tragically with his death. Now she’s wrestling with whether to come clean about the affair to their son, Samuel, whom Gabriel never knew and who believes he’s the product of Lucy’s now-ended first marriage. Working with the AP to prepare a retrospective of Gabriel’s photography for the 10th anniversary of his death, Lucy is thrust back into painful but loving memories. Among his old photos, she finds a mysterious Italian address and impulsively heads to Rome, hoping for another connection to the man she loved. There, she meets handsome doctor Dax Armstrong, who reawakens something in her that she may or may not yet be ready to pursue. 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.
