Description
Rose Marie Carter grew up learning to stay silent. Overshadowed by a mother who never chose her and a sister who always got what she wanted-including the boy Rose secretly loved-she carried the weight of her feelings alone. When her sister marries Samuel Daley, Rose walks away-not just from the wedding, but from the entire town. She needs distance. From the past. From the pain. From the mother who told her to leave and never come back. But months later, everything changes when Sam finds the diary she accidentally left behind-filled with words she never meant for anyone to read. Words that make him question everything. Now, with buried truths rising to the surface, Rose must face the past she tried to escape... and the man who was never truly hers. "Your happiness is the only thing that matters to me, even if it's not with me. Stay happy, Sammy. I love you. Always have, and I think I always will. If only you knew." - Rose Carter
