Grief Stories

Julien Laurent's life was built on goodbyes. From city to city, country to country, his only constant was his mother, Camille - until the day Rome stole her from him forever. Grieving and lost, Julien discovers a letter hidden among her things... a letter that unravels everything he thought he knew. A twin brother. A father across the ocean. A family that was never whole. When the truth pulls him from the streets of Paris to the quiet fields of Nebraska, Julien must face the man who never raised him - and the brother who grew up in the life he was denied. Two boys. Two halves of the same story. And one question that could change everything: Can love grow from the pieces left behind?
