On the day Heidi’s husband, Johnny, died, he passed on a final token of his love – a precious photograph of his last moments. As Heidi pores over the image, she sees a busy street scene and a pavement full of strangers – but she has no idea what this last message from her beloved husbandcould mean.
Heidi has spent her days – and her years – in her workshop, giving cherished old furniture a second chance. But there are some parts of Heidi’s own life that are beyond repair. Secrets that Heidi and Johnny kept throughout their long marriage. Things that they were never brave enough to speak about.
All Heidi knows now is that this picture of her husband’s final moments is where she has to start looking for clues. When she visits the busy street from the photograph, she suddenly comes face to face with the person Johnny had been meeting that day – someone she herself has spent a lifetime longing to know. But is she ready for what they’ll tell her and how will the rest of her family react when she brings them home?
The Day My Husband Left will make you cry, laugh, hope, and learn how to put the broken bits of your own life back together again. Perfect for readers who love Jojo Moyes, Susan Lewis and Ruth Hogan.
First, I want to thank Amy Miller, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Love how Amy Miller decided to name the main character in The Day My Husband Left Heidi! As soon as I read that and that she loved humming the theme song to Dallas I knew It was going to be a good read. You see I fell in love with the show growing up watching it with my parents. So, I know how addicting the theme song can be! Both of these aspects put a smile on my face!
Amy picked such creative names for her characters (not just with my name either). I loved the name Tuesday, Scarlet, and Zoey! Each a unique name for beautiful characters.
Speaking of characters one of my ultimate favorite characters was Tuesday! WOW! Did she have a larger than life personality with the pink hair to match! She is definitely fun and someone I would hang out with! She had me cracking up laughing at some of the scenes.
There is no doubt that The Day My Husband Left main theme is family and second chances. These are two themes that are quite strong throughout the book.
The Day My Husband Left tackled some pretty important subjects like gambling, adoption, loss of a loved one, etc. Many of these topics Amy did some research and shares websites that you can go to for more information. I thought that was commendable on what she did.
My heart went out to Heidi and her daughters for their tragic loss.
This book is chocked full of secrets and revelations. However, it is ironic that the secrets all kind of have a common theme in just different time frames.
Amy wrote some very meaningful messages that were scattered throughout the book.
