Everything She
Left Behind

Now Available!!

Claire's mother, Beth, is an expert at avoiding the truth. Claire doesn't know Beth's real name, much less anything about the life Beth once fled. But a brain tumor is stirring memories and regrets, making it difficult for Beth to continue hiding her past from Claire. Worried it's too late to make amends and too anxious to simply tell Claire the truth, Beth devises a plan.

When Beth falls into a coma, Claire fears her last chance to finally, truly know her mother is gone. Then she reads the letter Beth left for her. Now Claire has a mission: track down people from Beth's past and deliver her mother's last letters to them. Claire follows the letters into her mother's history and across America. She discovers that Beth has secrets she traveled thousands of miles and invented hundreds of lies to escape.

When Claire finally learns the truth, it will test the limits of her forgiveness and, perhaps, lead her to the greatest gift her mother could ever give her.

If I took the dress we first danced in, would he figure I'd think of him each time I wore it and miss him? If all I took were jeans, would he think I was coming back for the nicer things? If I took the picture box from the hall closet, would he hope I would mood over the ones of us until the memories build obstacles in my path and I couldn't stay gone? ...

I figured out that I couldn't leave until I knew what I wanted to take. So I'd made a list: my grandmother's pearls; several sets of clothes, both nice and casual; a dress with no particular meaning; two pairs of shoes; and only one picture. It wasn't of him...

I wonder...

What do you take with you? But, more importantly, what do you leave behind?
