A contemporary novel

What if every person you were convinced had forgotten you had a completely different version of your story?

Sam Henderson has decided he has one week left to live.

Convinced that the people he once loved have moved on without him, Sam sits down to write goodbye letters to the people who mattered most throughout his life. The plan is simple: write the letters, deliver them, and say the things he never managed to say when he had the chance.

But saying goodbye means coming face-to-face with the people on the other side of those memories.

As Sam begins delivering his letters, he discovers that the moments he dismissed, the relationships he thought had faded, and the versions of himself he believed everyone had forgotten look very different through someone else’s eyes.

Each letter forces Sam to confront the distance between the story he has been telling himself about his life and the stories the people around him have been carrying all along.

Goodbye Letters is an upmarket contemporary novel about friendship, family, grief, mental health, and the invisible ways we leave marks on one another.

A novel about the stories we tell ourselves… and the people who quietly rewrite them.
