NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • After her marriage ends, one woman’s struggle to pick up the pieces finally leads to a new beginning—but is the past truly behind her? In this poignant novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber explores the powerful intersections of love and family.

“This deeply emotional tale proves it’s never too late for love.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

It’s been nearly six years since Julia Jones had her heart broken. After her husband became involved with another woman, she did everything she could to save their marriage, to no avail. The couple’s two daughters continue to stand by Julia in the wake of their father’s behavior—and they’ve had a tough time getting along with the other woman who’s become their stepmother. Distraught after selling the family home, Julia moves into a condominium complex that offers the warmth and charm of a fresh start. Now, having settled into her new community and sold her successful interior design business, she’s embraced a fulfilling new life, one that doesn’t seem to need a man in it. Her beloved father’s trusty saying is ringing truer than ever: It’s better this way.

But when Julia meets a handsome new resident in the building’s exercise room, she can’t help but be drawn to him. Heath Wilson is a welcome change from the men she’s encountered on the occasional—mostly disastrous—dates her sister has eagerly planned for her over the years. As she and Heath, a divorcé himself, begin to grow close, their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love. However, they soon realize that combining families proves to be a challenge, even though their four children are adults.

When a dramatic revelation threatens the happiness they’ve found, Julia and Heath must reconcile their love for their children with their love for each other. If they can’t, their bright future together may be nothing but a dream.

  • Its better this way

    When I first started reading this book I was annoyed by the whining and vindictiveness of Claires girls, and Heath’s boys. Children of divorce. But as the book progressed the story took a turn that was surprisingly gratifying. And, this is the way it should be with divorce. Read and discover a story many of us have lived.
  • Unrealistic

    While I normally enjoy her books, this one was a tad unrealistic. A total ego-maniac of a dad would in no way earn forgiveness for not only destroying the family but demanding his affair be readily accepted.

    This is so vacuously formulaic that it became unreadable. Added to that, the characters were so unlikable that I needed them to be out of my life. DNF.

    This book took a good look at something so many of us have faced, infidelity & divorce along with the pain that affects the entire family. It isn’t just a marriage breaking apart, it’s a family being broken. Hurt, betrayal, harsh words, lashing out, things said & done that can take many years to repair. And, for some, that never happens at all. It was thoughtfully written, but I thought the ending was a bit simplistic. Still, I pretty much always appreciate Mrs. Macomber’s books & rarely pass on purchasing them.
