'Wow... I laughed out loud, I cried, I stayed up well into the night reading just a little bit more. I just loved this book so much... I really really loved this book... An absolute joy to read.' Goodreads Reviewer
Sometimes it takes losing something to see where you truly belong.
For the past twenty-nine years, Kay Bright's days have had a familiar rhythm: she works in her husband's stationery shop hoping to finally sell the legendary gold pen, cooks for her family, tries to remember to practise yoga, and every other month she writes to her best friend, Ursula. Kay could set her calendar by their letters: her heart lifts when the blue airmail envelope, addressed in Ursula's slanting handwriting, falls gently onto the mat.
But now Ursula has stopped writing and everything is a little bit worse.
Ursula is the only one who knows Kay's deepest secret, something that happened decades ago that could tear Kay's life apart today. She has always been the person Kay relies on.
Worried, Kay gets out her shoebox of Ursula's letters and as she reads, her unease starts to grow. And then at ten o'clock in the morning, Kay walks out of her yellow front door with just a rucksack, leaving her wedding ring on the table...
This emotional and heart-warming novel is for anyone who knows it's never too late to look for happiness. Fans of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, A Man Called Ove and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry will fall in love with this feel-good and moving story that shows you that the best friendships truly last forever.
'Absolutely beautiful!I finished it late last night - I knew I couldn't stop once I started - with happy tears running down my face! Just beautiful and thought-provoking! A wonderful, heart-warming, life-affirming tale from this fantastic author. Everyone should be reading this... Outstanding. Five stars do not do this book justice... Thank you Beth Miller for this exquisite treasure of a book!' Bestselling author Renita D'Silva
'A story that drew me in from the first pages. With tissues clutched in my hand and tears running down my face, I read this book in one sitting. A story that will stay with me.' NetGalley Reviewer
'I was teary-eyed... A book to truly fall in love with! I couldn't seem to read this book fast enough. I stayed up way, way too late to finish it. There were parts that actually had me laughing out loud. I haven't read such a warm-your-heart type of book in a very very long time. I totally recommend it.' Goodreads Reviewer
'A poignant read and an emotional one. Beautiful doesn't do it justice. If you read just one book about life make it this one. 10 stars if I could.' Goodreads Reviewer
'Such a touching, heartfelt book; tears a few times. Couldn't put this one down and finished it in one day... Great, great book!' Goodreads Reviewer
'Oh, what an absolute gem of a book... At several points I definitely had something in my eye, and towards the end, well... All I can say is that it takes a lot for a book to simultaneously make me laugh and need to clear a lump in my throat. This one did it in spades. Highly recommended.' Goodreads Reviewer
'A very heart-warming, emotional read. Get your tissues ready as you might need them; I certainly did.' Goodreads Reviewer
'I stayed up way too late reading this book. My 2 a.m. novel. I laughed out loud and I cried while reading... I cannot wait for more novels from Beth Miller.' Goodreads Reviewer
