Resumen del Editor

“Sometimes, you find yourself inadvertently in the dark. But I’d discovered that if you stopped fighting against it and just stood still, sometimes something marvelous comes along.”

Artist Lexie McCain spends her days literally weaving the story of her life into a gorgeous tapestry. But on Monday nights, she walks to the Corner Bar, drinks a Killian’s, and answers the same question every week from Sam the bartender: “One thing?” She starts with her name, then her cottage, slowly moving on to the devastating tragedies that tore her life apart.

Sam Corner’s smile doesn’t seem to hide any pain. One night, Lexie turns the tables on him, asking Sam, “One thing?” To her surprise, Sam reveals his own tragic history. Together, Lexie and Sam learn that, with good beer and a trusted friend, sharing just “one thing” might lead to the one thing they both thought was lost forever: Love.

From award-winning author Holly Jacobs comes the story of heartache, hope, and the power of sharing just one thing.

A very thought provoking, insightful story of life

Life and love , identity and evolving, heartbreak and healing and the importance of little things, moments and memories. I couldn't stop moving forward through the lines of these people, and it was ab rich and satisfying journey!

love love lovw

wonderful book that was encouraging and uplifting - it hit a spot in my heart like no other book has in a while. It was a love story with twists and turns, death and other losses.- but such a good story❤️

Nice read

The author slowly unfolded the characters stories increasing my interest as the plot unfolded. Very well done and had a great message about forgiveness and letting go!

I didn't think this book would ever end

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I have mixed emotions about this book. While it was a good story, it felt like it would never end. I didn't mind the brief flash backs to help with the story, but by the end, it got annoying. I wouldn't take anything away from the story, but it did seem like it took forever for everything to come together.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator had several instances where she mispronounces words. It was annoying. I couldn't wait to finish the book. I also felt like I was listening to a grandma tell this story and not a middle aged woman. The narration took away from the story and at the end, I would've had a better experience reading the book.

Not that I can think of

Another great "Holly Book"

A beautifully woven story, as only Holly Jacobs can! Actually stories within a story, as all of our lives can be!

A wonderful "feel good" story!

This is such a warm-hearted story about healing and change. A lovely read...I highly recommend it!

Good story...

Well told, with a nice emphasis on "just one thing". It's a good way to take life in so many ways just one thing at a time. It also told the story of a relationship built upon one thing at a time, while weaving in the back story.

Excellent book/lessons in life

Story of a woman learns to cope and move on through the tragedies we all face in life as we age.

Set in a bar and the interactions with the bartender and even other patrons.

Loved it

This was a very different story than what I have read before. It was unique and I really enjoyed it. The narrator did a fantastic job.
