Letting Go
Here’s the set-up:
After Livvy Montgomery loses her mother to breast cancer, she begins writing to her in an effort to maintain the connection. Twice a year, Livvy puts pen to paper, sharing her feelings and frustrations, her triumphs and tragedies, her public foibles and her deepest secrets. Little does she know that her written odyssey has the potential to heal her past and change her future.
Decades later, when Livvy lies dying of colon cancer, she sends her daughter, Alex, to her home for her favorite bathrobe where Alex will discover the letters in an old hatbox. Sitting at her mother’s hospital bedside, Alex reads the stories contained on every page, stories laden with family history and secrets, that have the power to change long-held perceptions of her own life. With time running out, both women struggle with letting go.
Set in Wilmington, NC, Letting Go is the story of three generations of deeply flawed, incredibly strong women connected in life and death by blood, love and healing.
5 Star Amazon Reviews:
“Excellent! Characters are real, settings are well-portrayed, situations are believable. This is an excellent story told in a letter format that really works. I came to love, hate, tremble for, agonize with, cheer on, worry, cry and be humbled by the characters. Livvy’s progression is stunningly triumphant but ever so sad as she deals with real life’s ups and downs. I also appreciated how unobtrusively faith played a part in the story and how beautifully Debbie worked Livvy’s faith into different situations. Deborah Wallis has what it takes to deliver a great story.”
“So beautifully written. Could not put down from start to finish. I know the book will be a sellout. And hopefully on the best sellers list. ”
