Summary: When I’m Gone is all about Natalie Richardson. Natalie is dead. However, she is still alive – through the letters and secrets slowly being uncovered, she continues to control the lives of her husband, Luke, and all those that she left behind.
Dear Luke,
First, let me say—I love you… I didn’t want to leave you…
Luke Richardson has returned home after burying Natalie, his beloved wife of sixteen years, ready to face the hard job of raising their three children alone. But there’s something he’s not prepared for—a blue envelope with his name scrawled across the front in Natalie’s handwriting, waiting for him on the floor of their suburban Michigan home.
The letter inside, written on the first day of Natalie’s cancer treatment a year ago, turns out to be the first of many. Luke is convinced they’re genuine, but who is delivering them? As his obsession with the letters grows, Luke uncovers long-buried secrets that make him question everything he knew about his wife and their family. But the revelations also point the way toward a future where love goes on—in written words, in memories, and in the promises, it’s never too late to keep.
“It’s the end that marks a beginning, not the first day.”
