Letting Go

**BATH NOVEL AWARD 2024 TOP 100 When the past is broken and the present is full of uncertainty, it's time to let go. A heartwarming, standalone story about finding the courage to move toward the people and places that can make us whole again.** Callie Winters is the Chief Medical Officer for a pharmaceutical company and has dedicated her adult life to building a solid future for her son—a boy who has grown up without his father. But just as her hard work and dedication are about to pay off, she must put it all at risk and race against time to protect him. Callie revisits a life she lived differently and questions everything she's told herself these last eighteen years. Brett Jenson is a teenager who sees the world through the lens of his digital camera. But when he needs to build a picture of his past for his final assignment, the search for truth uncovers a family he has never known and secrets he begins to wish could stay hidden forever. Dave Woods has reservations about getting into bed with a big pharmaceutical company—until he meets Callie Winters for the second time. She was the one who got away last Thanksgiving, and he's been kicking himself ever since for not telling her how he feels. Callie's offer to bring their botanical product into the mainstream seems too good to be true, and when he reads the fine print, Dave realizes she could put their small-town co-operative out of business and destroy the lives of the people he cares about. In the heart of Colorado's scenic landscapes, Jackson's Bridge comes alive with characters who navigate life's intricacies against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
