HTML:When the person you've built your whole life around is gone, what do you do? It's not the first time Abby Stone has faced the question. At eighteen, she envisioned a future with her childhood sweetheart, Charlie, only to have him go off to school and leave a pregnant Abby behind. But that pales beside a second loss, when her eighteen-year-old son, Luke, falls to his death from his third-floor dorm.<br /> <br /> Abby throws herself into running her thriving B&amp;amp;B on the coast of Maine. With the help of Rob, a local landscape architect, she plans a backyard labyrinth as a memorial to Luke&amp;#8212;a place to find peace and solace. Even as Charlie begins hanging around again, looking for a chance to do right by her, Abby resolves to look forward, not back. And then Luke's girlfriend arrives on Abby's doorstep&amp;#8212;pregnant, as alone as Abby once was&amp;#8212;bringing with her the unexpected gift of a new beginning, one that celebrates the past.<br /> <br /> Rich in emotion and insight, this beautifully written novel explores the depth of a mother's bond, resilience after unimaginable loss, and the way love's memory can fill the gaps in a shattered heart.<br /> <br /> <b>Praise for Lorrie Thomson's Equilibrium</b><br /> <br /> "An emotional, complex, and deeply satisfying novel about the power of hope, love, and family.
