At thirty-three, Sam Gilbert's life was turned upside down by his wife's cancer diagnosis. Everything he'd worked for no longer mattered, and after her death, the only thing that reminded him to get out of bed every morning, to keep living, was the promise he made to her before she died. Bound by the pages of her journal, Sam sells all of their possessions, leaving the home they'd made in San Francisco to travel across the country, mapped out by nothing more than the half-written stories and dreams of his late wife's pen. From award-winning author A.M. Johnson comes a new and evocative story about one man's journey that stretches over miles and years, through grief and rebirth, and how when he least expects it, love finds a way to heal his heart.
