Two Once Removed

About this book

Fifty-year-old Callie Larson believed the hardest part of motherhood would be letting her children leave home. She never imagined the silence they left behind would expose a marriage built on years of sacrifice, routine, and a husband whose career always seemed to come first. When another long holiday weekend is claimed by his business obligations and annual golf trip, Callie reluctantly heads to her mother's beach house alone-until a playful dare from a friend leads her to an unexpected social media post from the one man she never truly forgot. Twenty-seven years after walking away from their engagement, Jason is divorced, living quietly by the ocean, and unknowingly waiting for the answers neither of them ever found.What begins as an innocent detour becomes an unforgettable weekend that forces Callie to confront the life she chose, the love she lost, and the woman she left behind along the way. As long-buried truths emerge and old feelings awaken, she must decide whether faith, family, and lifelong commitment are enough when the heart begins asking questions it can no longer ignore. Two Once Removed is a poignant story of first love, quiet regret, and the extraordinary courage it takes to rediscover yourself before deciding who deserves the rest of your life.For all Milo Hays works visit www.milohays.com.
