Join us for an author talk with award-winning writer Sarah Bourne as she discusses her new book, Letting Go.

About the book

When elderly Walter Shoebridge hires Hester Rose to guide his family through his final days, he hopes to ease their grief. But as old wounds and hidden truths come to light, Hester finds herself entangled in a web of betrayal and deception.

A furious son disinherited from his legacy. A daughter haunted by the possibility that she hastened her father’s death. And a shadowy name in the will all lead to a shocking revelation that threatens to destroy what’s left of the family.

Amidst it all, Hester’s own past resurfaces.

But Walter isn’t gone entirely. He watches from the other side helplessly as the family he sought to protect unravels.

As tensions escalate and secrets spiral out of control, Hester must navigate this fractured family’s darkest truths before they implode completely. Can she bring them together, or will the Shoebridge legacy be shattered forever?

Perfect for fans of Imogen Clark, Letting Go is a suspenseful and deeply emotional story of love, grief, and the devastating power of secrets.
