About The Book:
Dear Diana, If you’ve found this letter, I’m gone.
Eighteen months after her husband Tom’s death, Diana Morgan is still grieving and struggling to move on, while striving to be the strongest parent she can for their two children. When she finds a letter from Tom meant for her eyes only, she expects a final declaration of love―not a cryptic confession to a terrible unnamed crime.
But Tom’s secret is not his alone. There are others who know, others who may try to insinuate themselves into Diana’s life. Tom warns: Don’t let them in. Reeling with disbelief and fear, Diana begins to doubt everything she remembers of their marriage. What was real? What was manipulation? And who can she trust?
Embarking on a dangerous quest for answers, Diana travels to her husband’s small hometown in Vermont. She knows the secrets Tom was holding all stem from here. But will the truth about the man she loved bring her peace, or will it shatter her world?

Page-turning and beautifully written. Hensle Lowrance is a writer to watch.” ―Donna Freitas, bestselling author of Her One Regret and The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano
