Newly married, they're wildly in love, each on a successful and rewarding career path. Then Lauren is diagnosed with a terminal illness. As Lauren's disease progresses, Joshua struggles to make the most of the time he has left with his wife and to come to terms with his future--a future without the only woman he's ever loved. He's so consumed with finding a way to avoid the inevitable ending that he never imagines his life after Lauren. But Lauren has a plan to keep her husband moving forward. A plan hidden in the letters she leaves him. In those letters, one for every month in the year after her death, Lauren leads Joshua on a journey through pain, anger, and denial. It's a journey that will take Joshua from his attempt at a dinner party for family and friends to getting rid of their bed...from a visit with a psychic medium to a kiss with a woman who isn't Lauren. As his grief makes room for laughter and new relationships, Joshua learns Lauren's most valuable lesson: The path to happiness doesn't follow a straight line. Sometimes heartbreaking, often funny, and always uplifting, this novel from New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins illuminates how life's greatest joys are often hiding in plain sight.

LAUREN KARSHLauren, a Maryland native, grew up in a small town just outside of Baltimore where she excelled academically and often found herself as the youngest one in the room. She attended Colorado State University before receiving a Graphic Design degree from The Art Institute in Denver. She is currently working on her Masters Degree from CSU while owning her own business and being a mom of two. She knows the importance of hard work and believes we must be willing to do what it takes to follow our dreams. Just before the recession, Lauren became the Marketing Coordinator for Oakwood Homes in Denver. During the recession, the marketing department was dramatically impacted and only Lauren and her colleague remained. They learned how to do a lot with a little and became focused on building great relationships with a small budget. After a successful decade with Oakwood Homes, Lauren worked with a large publicly traded builder as well as with a large, nationally recognized marketing firm.Then Lauren experienced what she calls her “mid-life crisis” and realized the need to reprioritize the things that meant the most to her. She quit the dream job she had just been hired for and for the first time since she was thirteen, she found herself unemployed! She encourages us to listen to our inner voice (our gut) and take actionable steps to do what we hear it saying. She left this job and before she made it to her house that afternoon, she had her first four clients and started her own marketing company, Colorado Modern Communication. Lauren believes keeping your relationships with those who are most important to you, your spouse, children, family and friends is essential to having success in life. Finding our purpose and knowing what we are good at is important to living a successful life and HUMOR is a key ingredient for Lauren. If you have a dream and you want to go after it, Lauren encourages us to start talking to our network, get connected and build strategic relationships by giving to those around you. It takes time, but as you invest in your industry, community and network, they become a powerful resource for you. Lauren encourages us to take the meeting, go get coffee with people and be willing to build your network. She reminds us to be authentic in all we do.
