A Selah Award winner.

One moment, Olivia Kavanaugh is preparing to walk down the aisle and embrace her own happily ever after. The next, she learns that her fiancé, Wyatt Hammond, has been in a fatal car accident. Then comes a startling discovery: Wyatt’s car wasn’t heading toward the church. He was fifty miles away…with a baby gift in the backseat.

Her faith shaken, Olivia pores over the clues left behind, desperate to know where Wyatt was going that day and why. As she begins uncovering secrets, she also navigates a tense relationship with her judgmental mother and tries to ignore the attentions of a former boyfriend who’s moved back home. But when she starts receiving letters written by Wyatt before his death, she must confront a disturbing question: Can we ever know anyone fully, even someone we love?

When an unexpected path forward—though nothing like the life she once envisioned—offers the promise of a new beginning, will she be strong enough to let go of the past and move toward it?

I absolutely could not put this book down. I absolutely could not put this book down. From the premise---a groom dies in a one-car accident driving the opposite direction of the church on his wedding day (with a baby gift in the back seat)--to the beautiful story that unfolds as a woman comes to terms with a life she did not choose. I loved how Allen wove in the difficulty of mother/daughter relationships with the fabulous story line regarding the main character's Grandmother Ruthie. There was so much to love in this bittersweet tale. Do not miss the opportunity to read it for yourself.Olivia is the woman in all of us. This is an uplifting story of a woman's terrible heartbreak and spiritual separation from her family and from God. Olivia's story is told with humor and sensitivity. You will fall in love with Grammy Ruthie. It was fascinating to see how various people came into Olivia's life just when she needed them most. Also, there is a pretty intriguing mystery in the story that was solved in a very satisfying way. A very good read.Hidden secrets Bride waits at her wedding for the groom until she gets a call that he has died in an accident 50 miles away going in the opposite direction. In the backseat of his car is a baby gift. The book is well-written, but you suspect the ending almost from the beginning yet keep reading for a twist. The author lets us in on how one woman deals with uncovering the pain in a relationship she thought was perfect.
