The moving sequel to bestselling author Charles Martin's The Dead
Don't Dance. After slipping into a four-months-long coma following the
tragic loss of their son in childbirth, Dylan's wife, Maggie, finally
awakens--but can the young couple pick up the broken pieces of their
lives and move forward?
In a sleepy rural town in South Carolina, Dylan and Maggie Styles were a
young couple in love, preparing eagerly for the birth of their first
son. When the child was delivered stillborn and Maggie hemorrhaged and
slipped into a coma, Dylan's entire world shattered, but he never gave
up hope that she would awaken. And four months later, she did.
"When Maggie opened her eyes that New Year's Day some seventeen months
ago, I felt like I could see again. The fog lifted off my soul, and for
the first time since our son had died and she had gone to sleep-some
four months, sixteen days, eighteen hours, and nineteen minutes
earlier-I took a breath deep enough to fill both of my lungs."
Life begins again for Dylan when his beloved wife wakes, but so many
things have changed. In this poignant love story that is redolent with
Southern atmosphere, Dylan and Maggie must come to terms with their past
before they can embrace their future.
