The Things We Leave Unfinished Paperback – Feb. 23, 2021
Exploring intertwined timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED** delves into the risks we embrace for love, the wounds that run too deep to mend, and the endings we struggle to foresee.**
At twenty-eight, Georgia Stanton finds herself starting anew after sacrificing nearly everything in a harsh divorce—the New York home, her friends, and her dignity. Now back at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she encounters Noah Harrison, a bestselling author known for his novels featuring covers of almost-kissing couples. He’s just as arrogant in person as he appears in interviews, and Georgia refuses to let the charming writer of love stories believe he can complete her grandmother’s final manuscript, even if the publisher insists he’s the ideal choice.
Noah stands at the height of his career; with numerous book and film deals, he’s achieved nearly everything the “golden boy” of contemporary fiction could desire. However, he cannot resist the opportunity to finish what might become the best book of the century—the one left incomplete by his idol, Scarlett Stanton. Crafting an appropriate conclusion for the legendary author is challenging enough, but navigating the complexities of her beautiful, headstrong, and cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, proves to be an entirely different matter.
As they immerse themselves in Scarlett’s writings from both the manuscript and her collection of letters, they begin to understand why Scarlett never completed the story—it draws from her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the conclusion is far from joyful. Georgia is all too aware that love rarely ends well, and while the undeniable chemistry and bond between her and Noah is powerful, she is resolute in learning from her great-grandmother’s missteps—even if it jeopardizes Noah’s career.
