Synopsis

Three friends. Two broken promises. One missing manuscript.

As a senior acquisitions editor for Fog Harbor Books in San Francisco, Ingrid Erikson has rejected many a manuscript for lack of defined conflict and dramatic irony—two elements her current life possesses in spades. In the months following the death of her childhood best friend and international
bestselling author Cecelia Campbell, Ingrid has not only lost her ability to escape into fiction due to a rare trauma response, but she’s also desperate to find the closure she’s convinced will come with Cecelia’s missing final manuscript.

After Ingrid jeopardizes her career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But then Joel Campbell—the man who shattered her belief in happilyever-afters—offers her a sealed envelope from his late cousin, Cecelia, asking Joel and Ingrid to put their differences aside and
retrieve a mysterious package in their coastal Washington hometown.

Honoring Cecelia’s last request will challenge their convictions and test their loyalties, but through it all, will Ingrid and Joel be brave enough to uncover a twice-in-a-lifetime love?

The Words We Lost is a special book. "That woman had found her home only after she had been found by love" This book let down a permanent anchor into my heart, and i'm ok with that.

If you're looking for a deep contemporary romance, The Words We Lost is it! This is the third book I've read by Nicole Deese. Unlike the other two I've read by her, The Words We Lost contained a split-time element and a prevalent theme of grief and its effects on the characters' lives. At first, I wa......more

4.5 rounded up. I would be remiss if I didn't express my disappointment that the faith arc was very light and weak. I know authors and publishers just roll their eyes when we say this, especially when it's not like they left it out altogether, but the climax of the faith arc was the protagonist on t......more
