Description
He spent eight years punishing his father. Now the words he needs are the ones his father can no longer speak.
Kai Mercer built a perfect life far from the coastal town where he grew up. He hasn’t spoken to his father, Elias, since the night his mother died—a tragedy he has always blamed on his father’s absence. But when a massive stroke leaves Elias alive but unable to speak, Kai is forced to return to Greyport to settle the affairs of a man he swore he’d never forgive.
In the attic of the crumbling family home, Kai finds a locked trunk containing hundreds of letters—unsent confessions his father wrote over eight years, each one a desperate attempt to explain the truth about that night. As Kai reads through the letters, he discovers that everything he believed about his mother’s death was wrong. And that the father he hated has been silently loving him all along.
Now, with his father trapped in a body that can no longer form words, Kai must decide: cling to the anger that has defined him, or learn to speak the forgiveness his father has been waiting eight years to hear.
