Gifts of Grief

Gifts of Grief

A Love Story


A grieving widow and her late husband’s brother enter a one-year marriage of convenience, but shared grief and unexpected friendship begin to blur the lines between surviving and living again.


Kat thought she knew what her future looked like. She had Patrick, the man she loved, and a lifetime ahead of them. Then Patrick died.


Now, caught between the husband she can’t let go of and a future she isn’t sure she wants, Kat is simply moving through life instead of truly living it. With encouragement from her wacky friend, Annabelle, Kat begins to step outside her comfort zone and open herself to the possibility of something new.


Peter has spent years keeping people at a distance. He doesn’t trust easily, doesn’t need anyone, and certainly has no intention of becoming anyone’s husband—especially Kat’s.


But when circumstances bring Patrick’s widow and his brother into a one-year marriage of convenience, shared grief and an unexpected friendship begin to blur the lines between surviving and living again.


Set against the gentle rolling mountains around Blowing Rock, Gifts of Grief follows broken people whose lives become intertwined through love, loss, forgiveness, and the unexpected gifts that can emerge from even the most painful seasons of life.


Sometimes moving forward doesn’t mean leaving the people we love behind. Even in seasons of loss, there can be meaning, healing, growth, and unexpected gifts waiting to be discovered.
