Plot Summary [ ]

The year is 1968, and Claire has just discovered, with the help of Roger Wakefield , that her husband Jamie Fraser may not have died at the Battle of Culloden , an assumption she has held for twenty years. As Claire, her daughter Brianna , and Roger track Jamie through the historical record, Claire is torn between her duty as a mother and her desire to return to Jamie. For his part, Jamie finds himself not well pleased that the British refused to kill him after the failed Rising, and must instead find his own way forward, his wife gone and his country devastated by war and famine. After twenty years apart, Claire casts herself through the mysterious stone circle once more and travels back to the 18th century to find Jamie, unsure of exactly what or who she will find when she does.

Timeline of Significant Events [ ]

• 18th century
• 20th century
• April 16: Jamie awakens on Culloden Moor, thinking he might be dead, and soon enough wishing that he was. Lord Melton , an English officer, refuses to allow Jamie to be shot along with his fellow traitors, knowing that his brother owes Fraser a debt of honor. Jamie is sent home to Lallybroch .
• Jenny nurses Jamie back to health and helps him stay hidden from English patrols.
• Having lived in a cave since his return to Lallybroch seven years prior, Jamie hunts when he can and ventures down to the manor house once a month to shave, when it's reasonably safe to do so. With Ian gone away to prison, Jamie provides for his family and tenants as best he can.
• November: Upon the birth of his third nephew , Jamie is nearly found out by the English soldiers that pay a visit to Lallybroch.
• While Jamie stays hidden in his cave, Fergus is waylaid by English soldiers and the skirmish ends in the violent amputation of Fergus's hand.
• Spring: Jamie arranges to have himself captured in such a way that his family and tenants will take the reward for his capture.
• On Jamie's last night in Scotland, Mary MacNab brings him his meal, and offers her body to him, which he reluctantly accepts.
• May 16: Jamie enters Ardsmuir Prison .
• February 15: Lord John Grey arrives to replace Harry Quarry as the new governor of Ardsmuir Prison.
• When reports reach Grey of a strange man raving about gold, he orders Jamie to accompany him as a translator, for the stranger was heard to have spoken both Gaelic and French. Grey has hopes the information will lead to the fabled Frenchman's gold, meant for Charles Stuart during the Rising, but Jamie's translation reveals (seemingly) incomprehensible gibberish.
• Jamie escapes the prison, and a search ensues; he eventually returns voluntarily several days later.
• March 7: Jamie attends his first meeting with Grey regarding matters with the prisoners.
• April 2: Lord John writes to his brother about the Frenchman's gold, and Fraser's subsequent escape and return.
• May 15: Jamie finally tells Lord John about why he escaped the prison, though only after Grey uses information about Jamie's family to blackmail him. Jamie's story does indeed involve a small treasure, of which Jamie's only proof is a large sapphire, which he had swallowed.
• Jamie continues to meet with Lord John regularly, and aside from discussing the prisoners' concerns, they play chess and discuss literature.
• June 18: Lord John puts his hand on Jamie's; Jamie rejects the advance, effectively destroying their odd half-friendship.
• Jamie assumes the blame for a bit of tartan discovered in the prisoners' cell, and Lord John has no choice but to order a sentence of flogging.
• July: The prisoners at Ardsmuir are released and have their sentences commuted to indentured servitude in the American colonies – except for Jamie, who learns he is to serve his parole on an estate in England.
• September: Jamie arrives at Helwater to serve as a groom for the Dunsany family.
• Geneva Dunsany blackmails Jamie into taking her virginity shortly before she will be forced to marry a much older man.
• Geneva gives birth to a son , and dies in childbed. Her husband, the Earl of Ellesmere , threatens to drop the newborn out of a window, and Jamie shoots the man, killing him, and saves the child.
• Lady Dunsany asks Jamie if he would like his freedom, and he declines.
• July: Jamie makes the heart-wrenching decision to leave Helwater, once William's resemblance to himself becomes too noticeable.
• September: Lord John tells Jamie he will marry Isobel Dunsany and become William's stepfather. Jamie offers his body to Lord John, who declines. Jamie kisses him.
• Upon Jamie's return to Lallybroch, Jenny tries to persuade him into marrying again.
• New Year's Eve: Jenny invites Laoghaire MacKenzie , who is now a young widow with two daughters, to Lallybroch, and Jamie and Laoghaire spend most of the night dancing with each other.
• In early 1765, Jamie marries Laoghaire and moves to her home at Balriggan . The marriage is a failure, and less than a year later, he leaves Laoghaire and moves to Edinburgh , where he starts printing and smuggling businesses.
• November: Claire , having gone through the stones at Craigh na Dun , travels from Inverness to Edinburgh, which is Jamie's last known location according to Roger MacKenzie 's and Brianna 's research.
• Claire finds Jamie at his print shop in Carfax Close, and they reunite after twenty years apart.
• Almost immediately, Claire discovers just how complex Jamie's life is: in addition to the printing, he is engaged in a smuggling operation, his partner in which is the madam of a brothel; he appears to be responsible for a drunken Chinese man and an errant nephew ; and all the while is pursued by men who want him arrested or killed.
• Jamie's print shop burns down and nearly takes Young Ian with it. After rescuing Young Ian, Jamie and the elder Ian Murray extract the story from the boy, who reveals that a one-eyed man had been seeking information about Jamie by inquiring after both Jamie's smuggling alias, Jamie Roy, as well as his true name, Fraser, then making his way to the print shop of "Alexander Malcolm".
• Claire makes a house call to a Miss Margaret Campbell , at the behest of her brother, the Reverend Archibald Campbell . Nellie Cowden , hired as an abigail for Miss Campbell, tells Claire what she knows about the woman's tragic history.
• Claire and Young Ian accompany Jamie and the smugglers to their rendezvous at the coast for a newly arrived shipment. The operation is foiled by an ambush of English Customs officers; meanwhile, one of these is discovered hanged in the woods.
• Claire returns with Jamie and Young Ian to Lallybroch, and their reception is strained by the fact that Jamie knew about Young Ian's presence in Edinburgh and failed to reassure the boy's parents of his welfare.
• The sudden arrival of Laoghaire MacKenzie with her daughters throws Claire's world into turmoil when she discovers that Jamie had married Laoghaire. She leaves Lallybroch, but is summoned back with news that Jamie had been shot and lay in fever, which would likely kill him. Claire uses some of the penicillin she brought with her from 1968 to cure Jamie's infection.
• With the help of Ned Gowan the lawyer, Jamie's marriage to Laoghaire is declared invalid, and an arrangement is made in which Jamie will continue to support Laoghaire and her daughters, Marsali and Joan .
• Faced with money troubles on several fronts, the Frasers and Murrays decide that they must visit the Silkies' Isle once more, and Claire learns about the treasure Jamie had found while in prison. The family had abstracted from the treasure several times in the past, with the elder Ian bringing one of his sons to make the swim from the coast to the tiny island where the treasure lay. It is determined that Young Ian shall make his first journey there.
• While swimming out to the Silkies' Isle, Young Ian is kidnapped by an unknown ship.
• December: Jamie and Claire travel to France to seek Jared Fraser 's help in identifying the ship that took Young Ian. They learn that the ship may be called the Bruja , and discover what they can about its destination, finding passage to follow it to the West Indies aboard the Artemis .
• Laoghaire's elder daughter, Marsali, joins the Artemis just as she is departing, and she and Fergus announce their marriage. Jamie objects immediately, but the ship is already underway.
• January: While Jamie is put out of commission by his debilitating seasickness, Claire learns from Fergus about the past attempts on Jamie's life, and the likelihood that one of the smugglers aboard the Artemis was a traitor.
• Mr. Willoughby uses acupuncture to cure Jamie's seasickness.
• Claire treats Duncan Innes for his digestive troubles, and seeks Mr. Willoughby's counsel regarding Innes' phantom pains in his missing arm.
• Mr. Willoughby captures a pelican, whom he names Ping An and trains to catch fish for him. He also tells the tale of how he came to leave China and arrive in Edinburgh.
• February 3: The Artemis meets with the Porpoise , a British man-of-war that is plagued by disease. Captain Thomas Leonard requests the assistance of a surgeon. Claire goes aboard the Porpoise , which soon departs from the Artemis without Claire's or Jamie's knowledge or permission.
• Claire works doggedly to slow the spread of disease, and reflects on the futility of her efforts. She shares a moment of respite with a special passenger , the new governor of Jamaica.
• After learning that one of the Porpoise 's crew, a man called Harry Tompkins , was the same man whom Ian followed to the print shop in Edinburgh, Claire realizes that Jamie faces arrest and even execution once they reach land, and she manages to escape by jumping overboard and drifting to the shore of Hispaniola.
• Claire meets a naturalist called Lawrence Stern and a disgraced priest named Father Fogden , as well as a quietly hostile woman called Mamacita and several animals.
• Claire rejoins Jamie, Fergus, and the rest of the crew of the Artemis , which has run aground on Hispaniola. Fergus and Marsali get married on the beach.
• April 1-2: [1] On Barbados, the Artemis acquires ten cubic tons of bat guano for trading, and Claire finds herself the accidental owner of a slave .
• At sea, the Artemis is attacked by pirates. Claire suffers a deep wound on her arm, slashed by a cutlass, and suffers a fever afterwards. She uses some of her precious penicillin to fight the infection.
• The Artemis puts ashore on Jamaica, and Ishmael , a man from the pirate ship, leaves with Temeraire, the slave bought on Barbados. Jamie and Claire make their way to Jared's plantation, Blue Mountain House, ten miles from Kingston. They prepare to attend the governor's reception.
• At the governor's mansion, Claire sees Jamie leave the main event to speak privately with Lord John Grey , and is shocked to see the latter's look of longing toward Jamie as they embrace.
• A lady is murdered in the retiring room, and Mr. Willoughby is a prime suspect. While Jamie is away being questioned, Claire demands that Lord John explain how he knows Jamie, and about William .
• Jamie and Claire visit Rose Hall , and are surprised to find that Mistress Abernathy is an old acquaintance. They do what they can to search for Young Ian, but find no sign of him.
• Returning later with backup, Jamie and the other men search for Ian, while Claire goes into Rose Hall manor and finds the Reverend Archibald Campbell, who confronts her about Jamie's role in his sister's ordeal during the Rising. He also tells Claire about a prophecy made by the Brahan Seer regarding the Frasers of Lovat. Mr. Willoughby/Yi Tien Cho makes a sudden appearance, and accuses Campbell of murdering Mina Alcott at the governor's reception, as well as the other women of Edinburgh killed by "The Fiend". Yi Tien Cho kills the reverend, and admits he was the one that betrayed Jamie to Sir Percival Turner.
• Claire looks for Jamie and finds a crocodile, along with Ishmael and the other escaped slaves of the island gathering for some kind of ceremony. Margaret Campbell is among them, and she acts as a kind of oracle, speaking in the voices of those unseen. Margaret speaks to Claire, joined by Jamie, in the voice of their daughter, Brianna .
• With information from Ishmael, Jamie and Claire leave for Hispaniola to seek out a cave called Abandawe, where Geillis has allegedly taken Ian. They find the boy, and Claire kills Geillis in the struggle to save him, though she is deeply unnerved by the sound of the time passage in the cave.
• Sighting the Porpoise yet again on their trail, the Frasers leave with their companions on the governor's pinnace, but the little boat is no match for the Porpoise' s speed, nor yet for the approaching hurricane. The Porpoise is decimated by the violent sea, killing all hands, and the topmast of the pinnace eventually succumbs as well. Claire is knocked overboard and Jamie goes into the water after her. They eventually float ashore and take refuge with a family, only to discover the storm has swept them all the way from the Caribbean to the coast of the Royal Colony of Georgia.
• May 2: Roger MacKenzie reveals what he has discovered about Jamie's fate – that is, Roger believes he has found evidence that Jamie did not die at Culloden – and Claire gives him permission to continue searching for Jamie in the historical record.
• June 2: In the wee hours of the morning, Claire finds a document placing Jamie at Ardsmuir Prison .
• August: Claire, Roger and Brianna visit Loch Ness
• September: Claire returns to Boston and resigns her position at the hospital, visits Joe Abernathy , settles her accounts for Brianna with regard to her money and the house in Furey Street, and takes her leave of the place, her memories of life with Frank , and the luxuries of the twentieth century.

"He was dead. However, his nose throbbed painfully, which he thought odd in the circumstances."

Thus begins the third book in the OUTLANDER series, in which we learn that—despite his best efforts—Jamie Fraser did not die on the battlefield at Culloden. He isn’t pleased. Back in the 20th century, Claire is equally shocked by the revelation of Jamie’s survival—but much more pleased about it. We hear Jamie’s story as he moves forward, trying to forge a life from the bits of his soul and his country that are left, and hear Claire’s brief recounting of the twenty years since she left him at Culloden, while Roger MacKenzie and Brianna (Claire and Jamie’s daughter) draw close to each other as they sleuth through the clues of the past, in an urgent hunt for Jamie Fraser. Can they find him? And if they do, will Claire go back to him? And if she does… what will happen then?

To be honest, it would be easier to describe what doesn’t happen than what does.  The story moves from the ghosts of Samhain in the Scottish Highlands to the streets and brothels of Edinburgh, to the turbulent open sea and the adventures of the West Indies. Printing presses, sedition, murder, voodoo, Chinese foot-fetishism, kidnapping, turtle soup, and a number of other things. Behind them all, though, is Jamie’s question:

"Will ye take me, Sassenach? And risk the man I am, for the sake of the man I was?"

Goodreads Summary:

Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her... and her body still cries out for him in her dreams. Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face the passion and pain awaiting her...the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland... and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that can reunite or forever doom her timeless love.

Read a full summary of Voyager by Diana Gabaldon below. If you can’t remember what happened in Voyager and you need a refresher, then you’re in the right place.

In 1968, Claire discovers that Jamie is alive.  Arguably.  He of course, died several hundred years ago.  The point is, he didn’t die at Culloden as he meant to.  Claire leaves Roger and Bree to return to him in Edinburgh in 1765.  Jamie’s nephew is kidnapped by Portuguese pirates, and they travel across the Atlantic to the Caribbean to find him.  Kidnapping, lost treasure, pirates, runaway slaves and the return of those you once thought dead… you know, the usual.

what happened in Voyager?

• In 1746 The Battle of Culloden is done and Jamie Fraser is dead.  Though his nose is broken and his leg is numb and so maybe he’s not quite so dead after all.  He and a handful of wounded men find their way to a farmhouse where they stay until discovered by English soldiers.  The men are executed one by one and Jamie has made his peace with his fate – but when his turn comes the soldier recognises his name and sends him back to Lallybroch.  The soldier, Lord Melton, is the brother of Lord John William Grey, whose life Jamie spared in the previous book.
• In 1753 it’s been seven years of living in a cave and endangering his family, so Jamie decides to have one of his tenants “betray” him to the English and take the reward money.  He is arrested and sent to Ardsmuir prison.
• In 1968 Claire is reeling from the news that Jamie did not die at Culloden.  She, Roger and Brianna begin researching to try and “find” Jamie.  Eventually they find two Highland legends (the story of the Dunbonnet and Leap O’ The Cask .) that might refer to Jamie.
• In 1755 Lord John Grey is posted to oversee Ardsmuir Prison where his nemesis from the Rising, Red Jamie now called Mac Dubh, is prisoner and something of a Chieftain to the other men.
• Jamie and Lord John develop a relationship over regular dinners and chess games.  On Jamie’s part this is to help resolve prisoner issues and possibly indulge in intellectual conversation, and on Lord John’s this is not so much to deal with prison issues as it is that he finds himself a little enamoured with Jamie.
• When the majority of the prisoners are transported to America as indentured servants, Lord John exerts his influence to have Jamie indentured on an estate in Helwater, in the Lake District of England.
• The elder daughter at Helwater, Geneva, is to be married to the elderly Earl of Ellesmere.  Disgusted at the thought, she blackmails Jamie into taking her virginity before her wedding.
• Nine months later, Jamie’s son is born and Geneva dies in childbirth.  The Earl claims the baby, William, to be a bastard, and is shot dead.  William is fostered by Geneva’s parents, and Jamie remains at Helwater to be near his son.  When their similarities become too pronounced, Jamie accepts a pardon that allows him to return to a “normal” life.
• In 1968, Claire returns to Boston briefly while she decides whether or not to travel back in time to find Jamie.  Roger discovers an Edinburgh printer by the name of Alexander Malcolm, and Claire travels through the stones to investigate.
• In 1765, Claire ventures into the print shop and finds Jamie.  They have little time to become reacquainted with one another however, before they are off running around Edinburgh in search of Jamie’s foot obsessed friend, Mr Willoughby.
• Ian Murray arrives in search of his son, Young Ian.  He is naturally surprised to see Claire.  Fergus puts in an appearance; he is also surprised, though beyond pleased, to see Claire.  Claire is surprised to see he now possesses a hook where his hand should be, but there will be time enough for explanations later.
• Jamie’s print shop catches fire, and Young Ian is trapped on the second story.  Jamie, ever the hero, rescues his nephew.  Young Ian admits it was he who is responsible for the fire, it was a result of his trying to conceal Jamie’s latest political printing order.
• Jamie, Claire and Young Ian return to Lallybroch.  Laoghaire puts in an appearance and shoots Jamie.
• Young Ian volunteers to collect the family treasure from the Silkie Island but is kidnapped by pirates in the attempt.
• Jamie and Claire procure passage on a ship, The Artemis, with Jarrod’s help.
• Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the Artemis is set upon by a British Man Of War ship, The Porpoise, begging aid of a surgeon.
• The crew has been ravaged by Typhoid and Claire, naturally, offers her services.  While looking over the men, the ship begins speeding once again to its destination, Jamaica.
• One of the sailors on board, Tompkins, knows Jamie to be an outlaw and through the captain it is arranged Jamie will be arrested upon arrival in Jamaica.
• Kidnapped, Claire makes the best of the situation by tending to the injured on board.  In time, she meets the ships VIP passenger, Lord Grey, the new Governor of Jamaica.
• Land in sight, Claire jumps overboard into the mangroves somewhere in in Carribbean.
• Dehydrated and almost delirious, Claire is rescued by Doctor Lawrence Stern who takes her to Father Fogden’s house on the hill.
• After Stern gives Claire a brief history of the area, including the mysterious Abandawe cave, drunk Father Fogden mentions a ship that came ashore, the leader of which appeared to have a hook for a hand.
• Claire runs to the beach to find most of the crew of The Artemis unharmed, including Fergus and Marsali, but no Jamie.
• Jamie had made his way onto The Artemis, but hearing Claire was lost at sea, lashes out and is sent overboard himself.  When he washes ashore, he hears news that the ship that took Ian, The Bruja, has recently docked.
• Jamie, joined by some soldiers, returns to make The Artemis seaworthy again.
• Fergus and Marsali are married by Father Fogden.
• Jamie and Claire search for Young Ian at a slave market, where Claire is forced to buy a slave as a means to end his humiliation.
• The Artemis is set upon by pirates.  In the struggle, Claire suffers a terrible cut along her arm.
• Jamie, disguised as a Frenchman, and Claire attend a ball hosted by the new Governor, Lord John.  Claire sees Jamie and John embrace.
• While recovering from the shock of what she’s seen in the Governor’s office, Claire discovers the body of a young woman who has had her throat slit.
• The authorities are called and the manhunt for prime suspect Mr Whilloughby begins.  John explains his and Jamie’s history to Claire, including the revelation that he plays father to Jamie’s son, Willy.
• Jamie and Claire take a trip to Rose Hall to speak with Mrs Abernathy and hopefully find Ian.
• It turns out that Mrs Abernathy is actually Geillis Duncan, who escaped being burned as a witch with her lover, Dougal’s, help after giving birth to their son.  Geillis also reveals her theory of gemstones being a key element in successfully travelling through time.
• Reverend Campbell explains the Fraser-Lovat prophecy of a returned leader to Scotland.  Before much of this can be explain, Mr Whilloughby arrives, accusing the Reverend of being a murderer of women.  The Reverend is shot and dies.  Claire questions Whilloughby and discovers it was he who altered the authorities to Jamie’s dealings back in Edinburgh.
• Jamie and Claire attend a slave gathering where they summon spirits using the Reverend’s sick sister, Margaret, as a vessel.  Claire becomes frightened when she speaks in Brianna’s voice and tells Claire and Jamie that she loves them.

how did it end?

Jamie, Claire, and Lawrence Stern travel to the mysterious cave, Abandawe.  Deep inside the cave is a passage through time – Claire can hear it – and Geillis intends on using it.  She has Young Ian bound and gagged ready to be sacrificed for her trip to find Brianna and fulfil the prophecy.  Claire attacks and kills Geillis with an axe.  Our heroes escape on The Artemis , but are wrecked in a storm and wash ashore in Georgia.

From the Outlander series , Vol. 3

by Diana Gabaldon ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 4, 1994

The third (Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber) in a time-travel trilogy that again creates a vivid sense of daily life in 18th- century Europe. Unlike its predecessors, however, Gabaldon's latest relies more on genre clichÇs than on history for its drama. The story opens in 1746, on the battlefield of Culloden, where Scotland's dream of winning independence from England has just been brutally crushed. Our hero, gallant Highland laird Jamie Fraser, survives the battle and makes his way to a cave near his estate. There, he goes into hiding for several years, then turns himself in to the English to protect his near-starving dependents—and winds up in prison. Meanwhile, Claire Randall, the love of Jamie's life- -whom he had sent back through a charmed circle of stones to the safety of her passionless but companionable 20th-century marriage just before the battle began—is raising her and Jamie's daughter and working as a doctor in postwar England. Once their daughter is grown, Claire traces Jamie's fate through historical documents, realizes he survived Culloden, and steps back through the circle for the third and last time—to join him in 18th-century Scotland, 20 years after they parted. After a passionate reunion, they're soon on the run again from the English—and it's an eventful journey. While chasing a mysterious ship that kidnapped Jamie's nephew, the pair and their ragtag entourage dodge pirates, battle a witch, and survive saber slashes, gunshots, brushes with typhoid, and violent tropical storms at sea. Thanks to a string of Dickensian coincidences, they also encounter—or at least learn the fate of—all the principal characters from the first two books. Fans will savor this hefty tome's conscientious tying up of loose ends—but Claire's uncharacteristic passivity throughout and the book's overreliance on convention are unlikely to draw new readers. (First printing of 60,000; Literary Guild Dual Selection for February)

IT ENDS WITH US

by Colleen Hoover ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 2, 2016

Packed with riveting drama and painful truths, this book powerfully illustrates the devastation of abuse—and the strength of...

Hoover’s ( November 9 , 2015, etc.) latest tackles the difficult subject of domestic violence with romantic tenderness and emotional heft.

At first glance, the couple is edgy but cute: Lily Bloom runs a flower shop for people who hate flowers; Ryle Kincaid is a surgeon who says he never wants to get married or have kids. They meet on a rooftop in Boston on the night Ryle loses a patient and Lily attends her abusive father’s funeral. The provocative opening takes a dark turn when Lily receives a warning about Ryle’s intentions from his sister, who becomes Lily’s employee and close friend. Lily swears she’ll never end up in another abusive home, but when Ryle starts to show all the same warning signs that her mother ignored, Lily learns just how hard it is to say goodbye. When Ryle is not in the throes of a jealous rage, his redeeming qualities return, and Lily can justify his behavior: “I think we needed what happened on the stairwell to happen so that I would know his past and we’d be able to work on it together,” she tells herself. Lily marries Ryle hoping the good will outweigh the bad, and the mother-daughter dynamics evolve beautifully as Lily reflects on her childhood with fresh eyes. Diary entries fancifully addressed to TV host Ellen DeGeneres serve as flashbacks to Lily’s teenage years, when she met her first love, Atlas Corrigan, a homeless boy she found squatting in a neighbor’s house. When Atlas turns up in Boston, now a successful chef, he begs Lily to leave Ryle. Despite the better option right in front of her, an unexpected complication forces Lily to cut ties with Atlas, confront Ryle, and try to end the cycle of abuse before it’s too late. The relationships are portrayed with compassion and honesty, and the author’s note at the end that explains Hoover’s personal connection to the subject matter is a must-read.

Kirkus Reviews' Best Books Of 2019

THE LAST LETTER

by Rebecca Yarros ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 26, 2019

A thoughtful and pensive tale with intelligent characters and a satisfying romance.

A promise to his best friend leads an Army serviceman to a family in need and a chance at true love in this novel.

Beckett Gentry is surprised when his Army buddy Ryan MacKenzie gives him a letter from Ryan’s sister, Ella. Abandoned by his mother, Beckett grew up in a series of foster homes. He is wary of attachments until he reads Ella’s letter. A single mother, Ella lives with her twins, Maisie and Colt, at Solitude, the resort she operates in Telluride, Colorado. They begin a correspondence, although Beckett can only identify himself by his call sign, Chaos. After Ryan’s death during a mission, Beckett travels to Telluride as his friend had requested. He bonds with the twins while falling deeply in love with Ella. Reluctant to reveal details of Ryan’s death and risk causing her pain, Beckett declines to disclose to Ella that he is Chaos. Maisie needs treatment for neuroblastoma, and Beckett formally adopts the twins as a sign of his commitment to support Ella and her children. He and Ella pursue a romance, but when an insurance investigator questions the adoption, Beckett is faced with revealing the truth about the letters and Ryan’s death, risking losing the family he loves. Yarros’ ( Wilder , 2016, etc.) novel is a deeply felt and emotionally nuanced contemporary romance bolstered by well-drawn characters and strong, confident storytelling. Beckett and Ella are sympathetic protagonists whose past experiences leave them cautious when it comes to love. Beckett never knew the security of a stable home life. Ella impulsively married her high school boyfriend, but the marriage ended when he discovered she was pregnant. The author is especially adept at developing the characters through subtle but significant details, like Beckett’s aversion to swearing. Beckett and Ella’s romance unfolds slowly in chapters that alternate between their first-person viewpoints. The letters they exchanged are pivotal to their connection, and almost every chapter opens with one. Yarros’ writing is crisp and sharp, with passages that are poetic without being florid. For example, in a letter to Beckett, Ella writes of motherhood: “But I’m not the center of their universe. I’m more like their gravity.” While the love story is the book’s focus, the subplot involving Maisie’s illness is equally well-developed, and the link between Beckett and the twins is heartfelt and sincere.
