Description
A moving novel of family and forgiveness and of hope and healing by Rochelle B. Weinstein, the USA Today bestselling author of This Is Not How It Ends.
When Avery Beckett is proposed to by Jude Masters, a widowed father and the man she loves, it should be a time of great joy. Instead, Avery is on edge. She's wary of the idea of family, doubtful of happy endings, and too afraid to take the leap. It's the kind of fear that comes from having secrets.
Before Avery commits to a new life, she must reconcile with the one she left behind.
When Avery returns to her childhood farm in the North Carolina mountains, she's surprised to be saddled with a companion: Jude's teenage daughter, Elle, who's grappling with the loss of her mother and the complicated emotions of first love. On a path of mending wounds and breaking down walls, Avery and Elle form an unexpected alliance. It's giving them the courage to move forward. And for Avery, everything she needs to confront the past.
An emotional tale of mothers and daughters, loss and acceptance, When We Let Go is about the lessons that come from heartbreak and the healing it takes to embrace the joy of a second chance.

Reviews / Votes
"An emotional tale of mothers and daughters, loss and acceptance...a fully entertaining and at times thought-provoking read from first page to last." -Midwest Book Review"When We Let Go is chock-full of warmth, heartache, and hope. This moving story explores the bond between a mother and daughter joined by circumstance rather than DNA and is perfect for anyone who's ever had to start over. The story is simply beautiful in its unfolding." -Tracey Garvis Graves, New York Times bestselling author of Heard It in a Love Song
"In When We Let Go, Rochelle Weinstein writes of Avery, a woman who finds herself on a trip to confront the painful losses of her past while forging an unlikely intergenerational bond with her fiance's teenage daughter. With the strong voice and insightful prose for which she has become known, Weinstein builds a powerful and memorable story of homecoming, first love, second chances, the truths that set us free, and the families we find for ourselves." -Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman with the Blue Star
"When We Let Go is a story about a woman who needs to learn how to let go of regret and open her heart to the prospect of loving openly and fully again before she can move on from an unfathomable loss. This heartrending story grabbed hold of my soul and didn't let go. Beautifully crafted, it was impossible not to be carried along on this remarkable journey of healing and self-forgiveness." -Suzanne Redfearn, #1 Amazon bestselling author of In an Instant
"Every one of Rochelle Weinstein's novels is compulsively readable-but When We Let Go takes her enviable talent to the next level. Insightful, exacting, and brimming with empathy, this story of second chances is Weinstein at her very best." -Camille Pagan, bestselling author of Everything Must Go
"Poignant and heartfelt, this one truly shines." -Allison Winn Scotch, New York Times bestselling author of Cleo McDougal Regrets Nothing
"Rochelle Weinstein creates compelling, authentic characters I didn't want to let go of in this deeply heartfelt novel about love, loss, and the family ties that can break us-and make us whole. I absolutely loved it." -Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author
"When Avery Beckett's boyfriend gets down on one knee, it should be the happiest moment of her life. Instead, it's a reminder of all she's lost-and all the truth she hasn't yet told him. Moving forward is hard, and Avery doesn't believe she deserves a second chance. But the intersection of a surprise trip home, a moody teenage girl, and being forced to confront her past shows Avery that sometimes, it's When We Let Go that we truly learn how to live. With vivid characters, perfect pacing, and unexpected twists, this story grabbed me from the first page and held my heart until the very end. Rochelle Weinstein has proven herself as a master storyteller." -Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil
