Blurb:
At thirty-six, Gwen Porter has always done the right thing. A selfless pillar of strength,
devoted wife and mother of two, she thrives on caring for those she loves. When Gwen
learns a shattering, life-changing truth, her deepest concern is telling her husband, John.
She finds herself on a destructive path of deceit and when her strength is tested, she
turns to the most unlikely person.
For Charley Brant, Gwen’s carefree, younger sister, life is about surviving another dead-
end job or her next train-wreck relationship. She lives in the moment, denying herself
any hope for a future. After years of relying on her sister’s handouts and support,
Charley finds herself in unfamiliar territory as she struggles to be the vessel of strength
that Gwen needs to navigate through the storm.
As Gwen faces her darkest fear and an uncertain future, Charley turns to the past,
unraveling secrets that will change everything that has come to define her. And in the
wake of a tragedy, each will come to recognize that sometimes the most important words
are the hardest ones to say.

It starts to rain, big heavy drops, the dark sky finally unleashing the fury that it has
threatened all day. The water gushes at our feet and the sound of the rain fills the once
quiet street like the roar of an awe-inspiring waterfall. We run like school kids back to
the bed and breakfast, straight to our cozy room, where we strip off our wet clothes and
make love in front of a warm fire. And I think, I remember this, this passion. How could I
forget? And when I am overcome with my release, my toes curling and my heart nearly
pounding out of my chest, I’m hit with a wave of emotions. Overwhelmed to the point of
tears, I bury my face in John’s chest while he shudders his own release. When his breath
evens out, he pulls back and looks deep into my eyes, stirring up feelings of guilt once
again.
“Sometimes I love you so much that I can’t breathe,” he whispers, as he tucks a strand of
my hair behind my ear, a gesture that conjures so many emotions within me. A stray tear
slowly trickles down my cheek. And all I can think of is the unfairness of it all. I am so
happy. My life is perfect in so many ways. I have survived so much already. Why can’t I
just have this one thing? Is it too much to ask?
And as if reading my mind, John says, “Sometimes I’m so happy that I find myself
holding my breath, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like a person can’t possibly
deserve this much happiness, ya know?” He gently wipes away my tear with the pad of
his thumb and I suddenly can’t breathe. I stare at him so intently, it’s like I’m willing him
to hear my thoughts so that I don’t have to say the words aloud. And in the same
moment, I know that I can’t say the words aloud. I love him so much that I can’t break
his heart. I can’t take this moment from him. I would do anything to protect him from
this pain.
I close my eyes, breaking the laser focus of our gaze and whisper, “I love you too, John.
So much.” I kiss him on the lips, pushing it all aside and think, Later. I’ll tell him later.
And then I take a breath. Because that’s all I can do for now.
