“Mom,” she says.
The last line of the book. I worked on this book for many years, on and off, and had many different endings that I considered along the way. But it was after I gave birth to my son in 2016 that I realized Hannah’s story, in the most primal sense, was the story of becoming a mother. For me, the book is the call to that—and the ending is the answer.
I’m excited to share that I’m finishing work on the sequel to The Last Thing He Told Me. So it is seems like this ending will turn out to be more of an
intermission… and this family will have a new act, after all.
Coming winter 2026!!
