The Light in the Hallway

From the bestselling author of The Girl in the Corner comes the moving story of a man whose life is changed in an instant. How do you start again when you lose the only love you've ever known?

When Nick's wife Kerry falls ill and dies, he realises for the first time how fragile his happiness has always been, and how much he's been taking his good life and wonderful family for granted. Now, he suddenly finds himself navigating parenthood alone, unsure how to deal with his own grief, let alone that of his teenage son, Olly.

In the depths of his heartbreak, Nick must find a way to navigate life that pleases his son, his in-laws, his family and his friends--while honouring what Kerry meant to them all. But when it comes to his own emotions, Nick doesn't know where to begin. Kerry was his childhood sweetheart--but was she really the only one who could ever make him happy?

And in the aftermath of tragedy, can Nick and his son find themselves again?
