The Words We Lost

By: Nicole Deese

Narrated by: Libby McKnight

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 Cece 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 is convinced will come with Cece's missing final manuscript. After an editorial meeting jeopardizes Ingrid's career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But when Joel Campbell—who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters—offers her a sealed envelope from Cece, his late cousin, asking them to put their differences aside and retrieve a package in their coastal Washington hometown, Ingrid must confront a past riddled with secrets before she can discover the true healing she's been searching for.

The acclaimed author of Before I Called You Mine and All That Really Matters delivers a poignant and intriguing contemporary tale of friendship, forgiveness, and a love that goes beyond the first word.

Outstanding!

Another terrific novel by Nicole Deese! The story captured my attention in the first chapter and the unfolding plot kept my avid interest right thru the epilogue. The narrator Libby McKnight did an excellent job bringing the story to life. I can’t wait to listen to the audiobook again — it was that good!!

Lost…and then Found

The narrator did a great job!
I love books about books. This one is about an author and her book series that winds up with a brain tumor and her friends Ingrid and Joel basically going on a treasure hunt to find the last manuscript.
