Description
When 32-year-old Alison’s first real boyfriend abruptly walks out in the middle of a dinner party—leaving only the errand of “buying some mustard” behind—she’s forced to confront what comes next. As she rebuilds her life, the story widens to include the quiet promises and unexpected connections that draw an Army serviceman toward a family in need, setting the stage for a romance that feels earned rather than sudden. With intelligent, emotionally honest characters and a thoughtful, pensive tone, this novel explores love’s resilience, the awkward courage of starting over, and the ways small choices can reshape entire lives. Sarah Dunn’s engaging style blends sharp observation with heartfelt momentum, delivering a satisfying romantic journey without losing sight of the human stakes.
