by Barbara Davis
Author Barbara Davis deftly explores an emotionally charged landscape of pain, loss, and despair—and the risk one woman will take in the hope of loving again.
As a teenage runaway and child of an addict, Christy-Lynn learned the hard way that no address was permanent, and no promise sacred. For a while, she found a safe haven in her marriage to bestselling crime novelist Stephen Ludlow—until his car skidded into Echo Bay. But Stephen's wasn't the only body pulled from the icy waters that night. When details about a mysterious violet-eyed blonde become public, a media circus ensues, and Christy-Lynn runs again.
Desperate for answers, she's shattered to learn that Stephen and his mistress had a child—a little girl named Iris, who now lives in poverty with her ailing great-grandmother. The thought of Iris abandoned to the foster care system—as Christy-Lynn once was—is unbearable. But she's spent her whole life running—determined never to be hurt again. Will she finally stand still long enough to open herself up to forgiveness and love?
"When Never Comes is the story of a woman trapped in her own past, limited in all the ways she's been hurt by others. But when love presents itself in new and unexpected ways, she has to face all the doors she's closed…all the nevers she's clung to. This is a story of love, hope, redemption, and rediscovering who you were meant to be, and it will resonate with readers who love a tale full of heart and soul." —Camille Di Maio, bestselling author of The Memory of Us and Before the Rain Falls
"When Never Comes is another winner from Barbara Davis: a contemporary mystery that connects a husband's betrayal to childhood trauma and broken promises. Christy-Lynn's story is about resilience and vulnerability; about the ways we hurt and the ways we heal; about huddling in self-protection but opening up to the possibilities of love." —Barbara Claypole White, bestselling author of The Perfect Son and The Promise Between Us
