After the Funeral

Sarah Matthews was the perfect wife. For twenty-eight years, she put her husband first, raised their four children, and built a life around Michael's career at the Gladstone Power Station. When he complained she never wanted to go out anymore, she accepted it. When he grew distant and critical during his illness, she nursed him with unwavering devotion until his final breath.
She thought she knew everything about their marriage.
She was wrong.
While cleaning out Michael's belongings, Sarah discovers a hidden love letter and photograph that shatter her understanding of the man she buried-and the woman she's spent decades becoming. The passionate words were never meant for her. The joy in his eyes was for someone else entirely.
Twenty-eight years of sacrifice. Twenty-eight years of putting his needs before her own. All while he was capable of the kind of love he never gave her.
Devastated but determined to protect her children from this betrayal, Sarah makes an impulsive decision: escape to Bali with her mother, where her long-lost best friend Kate runs a retreat in the mystical hills of Ubud.
Surrounded by rice terraces and ancient wisdom, Sarah begins to remember who she was before she became Mrs. Matthews. But healing means facing an impossible question: How do you rebuild your life when you discover the foundation was built on lies?
Some betrayals destroy you. Others set you free.
A powerful story about marriage, sacrifice, and the courage to start over when you thought your story was finished.
