Don’t Miss Author Lee Woodruff’s New Novel, “Those We Love Most”
Author Lee Woodruff has just released her novel, “Those We Love Most.” The gripping story will have you fighting back the tears—and also asking how you’d handle one of life’s most unthinkable situations.
Here’s the scenario: Life is good for Maura Corrigan. Married to her college sweetheart, Pete, raising three young kids with her parents nearby in her peaceful Chicago suburb, her world is secure. Then one day, in a single turn of fate, that entire world comes crashing down, and everything she thought she knew changes.
Walking beside her 9-year-old son, James, as he rides his bike to school, he darts into the street and is hit by Alex, a 17-year-old neighbor. What unfolds in the wake of the accident is an intricate web of relationships, secrets, and betrayals that ultimately create a story of resilience.
Maura must learn to move forward with the weight of grief and the crushing guilt of an unforgivable secret,” explains Woodruff. “In it, Pete senses the gap growing between him and his wife but finds it easier to escape to the bar with his friends than face the flaws in his marriage.
