A contemporary novel

Can Sam rewrite the story he’s told himself about his life before it’s too late?

A novel about friendship, grief, connection, and the ways we matter to people without ever realizing it.

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

Sam Henderson has one week left to live.

Convinced the people he once loved have long since moved on without him, Sam begins writing goodbye letters to the people who shaped his life.

But delivering those letters brings Sam face-to-face with people he thought had forgotten him—and with versions of his own story he never knew existed.

The memories he carried for years aren't always the memories they carried. Moments he dismissed meant everything to someone else. Relationships he believed he'd lost may not have disappeared in the ways he thought they had.

And as Sam's final week unfolds, he begins to question the story he's been telling himself about his life.

Can Sam discover how much he mattered before it's too late?

Goodbye Letters is a story about the invisible ways we shape one another, the danger of believing our own version of the past is the only one, and what can happen when we finally allow ourselves to see our lives through someone else's eyes.
