The Lost Husband
A “sweet tale about creating the family you need” (People) that explores the trials of losing what matters most—and how there’s always more than we can imagine left to find—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bodyguard and The Rom-Commers.
Now a major motion picture starring Leslie Bibb and Josh Duhamel
Dear Libby, It occurs to me that you and your two children have been living with your mother for—Dear Lord!—two whole years, and I’m writing to see if you'd like to be rescued.
The letter comes out of the blue, and just in time for Libby Moran, who—after the sudden death of her husband, Danny—went to stay with her hypercritical mother. Now her crazy Aunt Jean has offered Libby an escape: a job and a place to live on her farm in the Texas Hill Country. Before she can talk herself out of it, Libby is packing the minivan, grabbing the kids, and hitting the road.
Life on Aunt Jean’s goat farm is both more wonderful and more mysterious than Libby could have imagined. Beyond the animals and the strenuous work, there is quiet—deep, country quiet. But there is also a shaggy, gruff (though purportedly handsome, under all that hair) farm manager with a tragic home life, a formerly famous feed-store clerk who claims she can contact Danny “on the other side,” and the eccentric aunt Libby never really knew but who turns out to be exactly what she’s been looking for. And despite everything she’s lost, Libby soon realizes how much more she’s found. She hasn’t just traded one kind of crazy for another: She may actually have found the place to bring her little family—and herself—back to life.

Katherine Center is such a lovely writer. Not only does she have a way with words and plot lines, there is also a kindness and optimism that her writing always conveys. None of her characters or the things that happen to them are saccharine, and that is partly why the way Center casts everything in a positive light is so magical. I love her.

As always Katherine did not disappoint! She’s such a great writer who has pulled me into every book I have read thus far. Cannot wait to start the next book.

It had no deep emotional substance to it. Waste of money

I have read and enjoyed all of Katherine Center's books, but this charming story is my favorite. I couldn't put this book down and didn't want it to end- the best testimony I can think of for a book. Richly drawn characters, a lovely story and an authors voice that just flows make this book something special and unforgettable. My only regret is that I have finished reading it and now have to wait for Ms. Center's next book.
