The Life Still Before Us

About the book

The story

Ruthanne Harlan has built her life around a full table. In her home near Dahlonega, Thursday supper means children through the door, her husband nearby, familiar voices in the kitchen, and the comfort of a family gathered close.

Then loss changes the shape of everything. In the quiet that follows, Ruthanne must face questions she has avoided her whole life: How do we love without holding too tightly? How do we make room for what we never expected? How do we move forward without leaving behind those who made us who we are?

Set in and around Dahlonega in the North Georgia mountains, The Life Still Before Us is a tender novel about marriage, motherhood, friendship, faith, and the courage to embrace the days still waiting.
