Publisher Description
Autumn Chase is painfully aware grief is a beast that won’t be chased off before it’s ready to leave. When an icy road and a dark night leave her a young widow, she’s forced to trade in her perfectly planned future for the unknown. Like a child hiding from a monster, she pulls her covers up over her head with the intention of sheltering herself forever. But once an unexpected stranger shows up on her doorstep, Autumn has to choose between being alone or connecting with someone who is hurting as badly as she is.
Noah Key, an emergency room doctor, has solemnly informed countless families that their loved one could not be saved. However, when his own wife dies suddenly there are no words to bring him comfort. His in-laws want him to fall to pieces to confirm his love for his late wife. His colleagues want him to take time off to grieve. The only thing Noah wants is to work enough hours in the day to forget his wife is gone. He’s written himself a prescription for a cocktail of distraction and exhaustion in order to trick his brain into thinking his life isn’t in shambles.
When the world keeps moving on without them, Noah and Autumn will need to decide if they’ll survive the storm or allow themselves to be swept away by it.
Customer Reviews
The Goodbye Storm
I really enjoyed this book. I think I may have found another
good author. The book kept moving/ didn’t slow down. A very good read.
Very good!
This was a very gripping emotion filled story. The kind of book that is only put down when the last page is finished.
I plan to read the others from this author.
Wonderfully written but should have come with a warning
This is a beautifully written book about love, loss, and the journey THROUGH. I got it as a gift but it should have come with trigger warnings. Do not read this if you’ve recently lost a family member or if you’re new to navigating THROUGH a difficult journey of your own unless you have strong support structures in your life. It tore down the carefully built walls but I just couldn’t stop reading this achingly realistic story. Trigger warnings for loss of family member/spouse, depression, substance abuse, and PTSD. If you read to escape life for a few hours, this isn’t the book for you. If you read to know that you’re not alone in your hurt, then this should resonate with you. If you’re a strongly empathetic person, pick something else.
