From Melissa Payne, bestselling author of The Night of Many Endings and A Light in the Forest, comes a heartfelt novel about unforgettable love, redemption, and the power of found family.
Mack Anders would do anything for his wife, Daisy—even die. With Daisy slipping away from Alzheimer’s, Mack fakes his own death to ensure the insurance will provide for her care. Isolated in a Wyoming cabin, he lives off the grid, haunted by memories and convinced Daisy is better off without him.
Eighteen-year-old Brandi, fresh out of juvie, is determined to save her younger brother, Sy, from their unstable mother. But when a flat tire leaves them stranded in Wyoming’s wildlands, their path collides with Mack’s.
As these three lost souls forge an unexpected bond, Mack must confront the life he left behind and find the courage to return—for love, family, and second chances.
