Synopsis

Carol Denman divorced her husband over twenty years ago and has never looked back. But on the day before their daughter's thirtieth birthday, John barges back into Carol's life with a request that threatens the fragile stability she has built.

John Bowman is sick. Very sick. While he still can, he has some amends to make and some promises to fulfill. But to do that, he not only needs his ex-wife's agreement . . . he needs her.

With the past hovering between them like a ghost, Carol and John embark on a decades-overdue road trip. Together they plunge back into a life without water . . . but which may ultimately set them free.

About Marci Bolden

As a teen, Marci Bolden skipped over young adult books and jumped right into reading romance novels. She never left.

Marci lives in the Midwest with her husband, two teenaged kiddos, and numerous rescue pets. If she had an ounce of will power, Marci would embrace healthy living but until cupcakes and wine are no longer available at the local grocery store, she'll put that ambition on hold and appease her guilt by reading self-help books and promising to join a gym "soon."

Goodreads review by Wendy on August 24, 2019

A Life Without Water is my first novel by Marci Bolden. John and Carol reunite twenty four years after losing their child.

Goodreads review by Lisa on February 16, 2020

Depressing as hell. Long, dragged out, repetitive, and redundant. A couple travels across the country with their dead daughter’s ashes and constantly rehashes how miserable they were, how miserable their marriage was, how they sucked as parents, and how unhappy their life has been. I had to skim the......more

Goodreads review by Adele Shea on January 11, 2020

I am a bit lost for words after reading this book. I certainly was not expecting to be crying so much at the end. You can feel the loss that Caroline suffered with every page that is turned. I could also feel the pain that John was going through. How far would you go to help someone that ruined your l......more
