HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! (7/4)
To celebrate with me I've released two new books...
The Years I've Loved You the Most
https://bit.ly/theyearsivelovedyouthemost
A love story that begins with forever—and ends with the kind of goodbye that changes everything.
Lanai Erickson believed she had all the time in the world.
At twenty-four, her future is finally blooming: a publishing career within reach, a half-finished novel, a tiny apartment to dream about, and Merrick Stevenson—the beautiful, complicated boy who once made ordinary life feel extraordinary. Together, they plan for Paris, wedding rings, a dog named Waffles, and a future neither of them doubts will arrive.
Then Lanai gets sick.
What begins as fatigue, bruises, and a fever that will not break becomes a devastating diagnosis that changes everything. As Lanai fights for her life, the people who love her gather close: her fierce best friend Jenna, her devoted parents, compassionate nurses, and Merrick, who promises he will stay.
But love is not always strong enough to survive fear.
As illness steals pieces of Lanai’s body, grief begins stealing pieces of Merrick too. His devotion turns to helplessness, his helplessness to distance, and the boy who once promised forever becomes a stranger standing just out of reach.
Still, Lanai loves him.
In her final days, with time slipping away, Lanai begins writing letters—to her parents, to Jenna, to the life she will never live, and to Merrick. Through pain, heartbreak, forgiveness, and grace, she leaves behind the one thing illness cannot take from her: her voice.
Tender, heartbreaking, and deeply emotional, The Years I Loved You the Most is a story about first love, impossible loss, the people who stay, and the complicated mercy of forgiving someone who broke your heart.
For readers who love tragic romance, emotional women’s fiction, tearjerkers, and stories about love that lingers long after goodbye.
