A thirty-five minute ferry ride outside of Seattle sits Bainbridge Island and the quaint Queen Anne Victorian style home where Michael and Kayla have lived for the past six years. Their life is serene until a tragic boat accident changes everything. Now Kayla finds herself alone on the island, in a house that no longer feels like a home.

Overwhelmed with grief, Kayla’s sanity teeters on the brink as she struggles with the day-to-day aspects of life without Michael. It’s only when a strange letter arrives that things begin to change. After all, it’s not every day you receive a letter from Washington State Penitentiary signed by a stranger who says they’ll wait forever for you.

The development of the story is superb, leaving just enough breadcrumbs to keep you in a chokehold until the very last page. Be prepared to immediately want to re-read the story.
