BjLucas book reviews

By Nicole Keefer

Scarlett Harvick is a soldier and with her soldier husband Atlas, is deployed overseas. When on patrol her truck is destroyed by a bomb. Atlas receives the news and Scarlett’s just in case letter. This last letter which at first is hated becomes a prized possession with time. The couple have twin daughters who are just a year old at home with grandparents. Atlas not only needs to come to terms with the loss of his wife but also with being a single parent. Over time we watch the girls grow up, Atlas’s acceptance of his wife’s death by his coping mechanisms of writing letters to Scarlett on his computer. The angst, learning and acceptance are expressed through his words to Scarlett. This elegantly written book is heartbreaking, heartwarming and emotionally satisfying. I rated this book a 5 ⭐️ and highly recommend reading it as soon as you can. I was in tears one moment and giggling the next as we witness the growth of Atlas and his daughters. Run don’t walk to read this book!
