The Life That Followed
Sally Anderson
Grace Carter was never supposed to outlive her son.
After a devastating accident shatters her world, Grace is left adrift in the quiet town of Stillwater, holding onto grief like it’s the last piece of him she has left. Across town, Daniel Walker is surviving in the ruins of his own heartbreak, mourning the daughter he buried and the marriage that collapsed beneath the weight of it.
When their paths cross in a forgotten garden where things still dare to bloom, something begins to shift.
Not love. Not yet.
But understanding. Stillness. A fragile companionship that begins to grow, tender and unspoken.
Through handwritten letters to the children they’ve lost, awkward laughter over shared coffee, and long walks where silence says more than words ever could, Grace and Daniel begin to discover something neither of them the possibility of joy. The permission to smile. And a love that doesn’t erase the past—but gently makes room beside it.
Heartbreaking and healing, raw and romantic, The Life That Followed is a slow-burn, second-chance love story for anyone who’s ever wondered if happiness could still find them.
Perfect for readers of emotionally rich fiction, grief-tinged love stories, and characters who feel like someone you’ve known your whole life.
