Publisher's summary

Two lives, two losses, and one meeting that changed their lives forever. Learning to move on and to love again isn't always easy.

The circle of life. It's something we all know about, but we are never truly prepared for the unexpected. The unexpected that comes out of nowhere. No warning, no heads-up, nothing. Just God giving us pure bliss and happiness and then taking it away in the blink of an eye.

For me, losing my husband to a massive heart attack on our one-year wedding anniversary, and at the age of 27, was something I didn't think I could ever heal from. The emptiness, the loneliness, the numbness, and the need just to get through the day were overwhelming. My name is Paisley Logan, and this is my story.

Life. Full of surprises, disappointments, and heartache. It's strange how we live life with certainty. We're certain that we'll find the love of our life, get married, have children, and live happily ever after. No one is ever prepared when a life-threatening illness hits. We're so busy living our daily lives that we don't think about such things.

I was naïve until my wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer and passed away less than a year later. I was angry. She was the love of my life, and we'd been married only five years. We wanted to start a family, and it was when she had trouble getting pregnant that she was diagnosed. I'd never lost anyone before. I'd never experienced death. I felt like God was playing a cruel joke on me. How could he bring her into my life and then take her away so young? Even the best-laid plans in life get altered. Mine did. Everyone kept telling me that time would heal all wounds, but this was a wound that would never fully be healed. Trying to get back to the normalcy of life was exhausting, so I didn't try anymore. My name is Ben Preston, and this is my story.

ok story not overally exciting

story kinda dragged but maybe it was the male narrator. he wasnt that good and just ruin the book for me

Adorable Sweetheart story!!

This is for the romantics that like perky, very little drama, no angst, a touch of passion with an HEA. The story was predictable to me but I like the narrators. Both Erin and Chris Chappell are favorites of mine, especially Erin. She can narrate anything written accordingly. It wasn't a bad story at all, just missing a tad more passion but that's just me.

Also survivor

I hung on every word of this story. I too, ima survivor. life does go on and in many cases life takes on new dimensions as it did for Paisley and Ben. the question of fate bless the twist that kept you reading .The one element missing from the story is the deseased partners family and whether or not relationships continued? This book would be good topic at group discussion.

Finding love after loss.

Beautiful, heartfelt and so much love. Overcoming grief and finding love again. Such a beautiful book, I absolutely love it, those characters are perfect. I enjoy this book a lot.

A Beautiful Story of Healing and Finding Love!

I really liked She Writes Love. A lot. From the synopsis, we learn Paisley and Ben both lose their spouses at relatively young ages. Losing your other half at any age is hard enough, but I feel like Paisley and Ben dealt with an added element of hurt and loss because of their young age; they both felt cheated out of their future. One of the things I enjoyed the most was seeing the way both of them dealt with their respective losses (I swear I don’t mean that the way it sounds!). Their feelings were raw and real. They both threw themselves into their work and each day was a struggle to move on. They put on happy faces for everyone else, because let’s face it, that’s what you do after you lose someone you love. You pretend you’re ok for those around you meanwhile you’re struggling to get out of bed some days. I’ve been there. Everything about their journey of healing and finding love again was real and honest. I loved the way Paisley and Ben formed their friendship by sharing their stories of loss and finding and finding someone who wholly understood what the other was feeling. It was sweet to watch their friendship, little by little, without them realizing it, turn into more. I also appreciated the honest and open communication between them when it came to their feelings regarding their spouses. They never made each other feel guilty for missing them; they encouraged the other to talk about them and truly wanted to know about the people they were. I knew going in this would pull at my heart, and it did! It tugged hard, but the emotional journey and destination was well worth my tears and heartache! I would absolutely love to read more about these two or any of Paisley or Ben’s family’s because they were an awesome set of (meddling lol) secondary characters!

Beautiful second chance romance!!

She Writes Love by Sandi Lynn absolutely blew me away. It was so beautifully written and pulled at every emotional string I have. I was crying just a few pages into the book and I could not stop listening. This is a story of love and loss and letting yourself love again.

Paisley and Ben both married the love of their life and were madly in love. When Paisley's husband died on their 1 year wedding anniversary, her entire world came crashing down. Ben was happily married for five years when his wife died of cancer. The strong firefighter was lost and broken. Pushed into going to a spousal support group, Ben and Paisley met each other and found a commonality in their grief. They form a beautiful friendship and help each other heal. This is their story of pain, hope, healing and love. She Writes Love is a definite five-star read for me!

The narrators did a fantastic job and made the story that much more enjoyable! I highly recommend this book!

She writes love

Warning: this is a three box of tissues novel. You WILL cry! Written and narrated perfection. I felt everything I was expected to feel. This beautiful interpretation is encouraging to anyone who has lost a loved one. There is hope.

Wonderful story!

I highly recommend this audiobook story about two people who lost their spouses and are feeling devastated by it. Encouraged by family and friends, they both go to a support group for those who have lost spouses to death and they meet there for the first time. This book is cleverly written and has a little surprise at the end. It is about coming to terms with loss, guilt and new love. The narration is very good and I enjoyed the audiobook very much.

Love

I absolutely loved it from start to finish. I knew when this David showed up that he had to be the ghost of her late husband. It was awesome how he still looked out for her.

One of her best

This is one of her better books because the story is good and not hindered by sex scenes every few pages. More like this please
