The Life Still Before Us
In her North Georgia home, Thursday supper means grown children coming through the door, her husband Luke nearby, her best friend Tess in the kitchen and enough food for anyone who might need a place. For years, the familiar rhythms of home and family have steadied her, meals prepared, doors left open and love expressed through the ordinary work of showing up.
She knows where she belongs. She knows who needs her.
Or at least she thinks she does.
Because even the most familiar lives do not remain unchanged. As long-held roles begin to shift and the future asks something new of her, Ruthanne must face questions without easy answers. How do we hold on without holding too tightly? How do we make room for what we never expected? And how do we continue forward without leaving behind the love that made us who we are?
Surrounded by the people she loves and by the mountains that have watched over them. Ruthanne begins to discover that moving forward does not mean abandoning what came before. Sometimes it means trusting that love is strong enough to change shape.
Set beneath the mountains of North Georgia, The Life Still Before Us is a tender, deeply felt novel about marriage, motherhood, friendship, faith, and the quiet courage it takes to embrace the days still waiting.
