She lost the love of her life. Then she found a town full of people learning how to live again.
Wren Paisley had everything she ever wanted: a successful career, a beautiful New York brownstone, and a future with the woman she loved.
Then, in an instant, everything changed.
After the tragic death of her fiancée, Lucy, Wren flees the life she once knew and finds herself in the small town of Everston, Colorado. She tells herself it's only temporary?a place to escape the grief, the memories, and the relentless attention that followed Lucy's death.
Instead, she finds a community.
When Wren discovers a grief support group that meets in the local library and shares a love of poetry, she reluctantly joins. There she meets a cast of unforgettable people, each carrying heartbreaks of their own: Henry, a librarian mourning his brother; Emerson, a young woman rebuilding her life after a devastating accident; and Olivia, a journalist who awakens feelings Wren never thought she'd experience again.
For the first time since losing Lucy, Wren begins to imagine a future she actually wants.
But grief doesn't disappear simply because you keep moving. And as old secrets and painful truths catch up with her, Wren must decide whether she's ready to let go of the life she lost and embrace the one waiting for her.
Heartbreaking, hopeful, and deeply uplifting, The Last Poem is a moving story about grief, friendship, healing, and discovering that even after unimaginable loss, life?and love?can find you again.
