Publisher's summary

From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner comes the moving story of a man whose life is changed in an instant. How do you start again when you lose the only love you’ve ever known?

When Nick’s wife Kerry falls ill and dies, he realises for the first time how fragile his happiness has always been, and how much he’s been taking his good life and wonderful family for granted. Now, he suddenly finds himself navigating parenthood alone, unsure how to deal with his own grief, let alone that of his teenage son, Olly.

In the depths of his heartbreak, Nick must find a way to navigate life that pleases his son, his in-laws, his family and his friends - while honouring what Kerry meant to them all. But when it comes to his own emotions, Nick doesn’t know where to begin. Kerry was his childhood sweetheart - but was she really the only one who could ever make him happy?

And in the aftermath of tragedy, can Nick and his son find themselves again?

I cried.......I laughed!!

What a lovely story about life. If you've lost someone recently (or ever), you might have a hard time getting through the first chapter. I almost gave up, but I'm glad a came back to it and finished the whole book.
Nick and Eric are the best of friends, with all the feels of being 10 years old and then their mid-30s rollercoaster of life. Amanda Prowse is a marvelous writer, taking you along for the ride with ease. Having her reading for the audiobook is a bonus!! I will be looking at the rest of her books. Can't wait!

The Light in the Hallway

What a beautiful, touching story, definitely a tissue box next to you while reading. I love Amanda way of writing and how her stories unfold. Real life tragedies. Looking forward to my next read/listen. The narration is excellent.

Another great book

I haven't read anything bad by this author. Great storyline. I always think they are going to be sad as something tragic happens however, she always turns the story around to make it heart warming.

Lovely story and narration

A tender story which was told in a gentle voice that tackled difficult personal issues. It contains a lot of wisdom, love and pain.
