According to Carley Love

From bestselling author Curtiss Ann Matlock comes a funny and heartwarming look at a woman facing midlife, marriage, and moving on.

When her husband of thirty-five years runs off to find himself and her mother dies, sheltered Southern belle Carley Love Wells is left a broken hot mess and on her own for the first time in her life. Before she can get a good footing, husband Jackson unexpectedly returns, seeking forgiveness and asking, "Can you love me anyway?"

The answer to that question thrusts Carley Love along a path strewn with surprising turns and hard choices — and with amusing wit and firm opinions, she writes it all down in a journal inherited from her mother. On the pages, she begins to see her life in a new light — to find she is a stronger woman than she knew, that foolish mistakes are part of living, but so is abundant grace to cover them — and that she must let go of the past in order to move forward.

She's alone now, hurt, and fearing her future. Can Carley Love free herself of an old broken love, and bravely reach toward one that is redeemed and reborn, and beyond all she dared hope or dream?  Perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen and Fannie Flagg
