Margaret Jacobsen has a bright future ahead of her: a fiancé she adores, her dream job, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, suddenly, on what should have been one of the happiest days of her life, everything she worked for is taken away in one tumultuous moment. In the hospital and forced to face the possibility that nothing will ever be the same again, Margaret must figure out how to move forward on her own terms while facing long-held family secrets, devastating heartbreak, and the idea that love might find her in the last place she would ever expect.

Katherine Center
Author · 16 books
BookPage calls Katherine Center “the reigning queen of comfort reads.” She's the New York Times bestselling author of ten books, including The Bodyguard, How to Walk Away, and Things You Save in a Fire. Her summer 2023 book is Hello Stranger. Katherine's novel Happiness for Beginners just opened as a Netflix original movie (starring Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes), and the movie adaptation of her novel The Lost Husband (starring Josh Duhamel) hit #1 on Netflix in 2020. Katherine writes deep, laugh-and-cry rom-coms about how life knocks us down—and how we get back up. She’s been compared to both Jane Austen and Nora Ephron, and the Dallas Morning News calls her stories, “satisfying in the most soul-nourishing way.” Her books have made countless Best-Of lists, including RealSimple’s Best Books of 2020, Goodreads' Best Books of the Year, the Indie Next Great Reads List, and many more. Katherine lives in her hometown of Houston, Texas, with her husband, two kids, and their fluffy-but-fierce dog.
