An emotional, irresistible second-chance romance filled with sparkling humor, big feelings, and "melt your face off intimacy" (Jessica Joyce) from celebrated USA Today bestselling author Tarah DeWitt.
This time, they'll get it right.
Wren and Ellis Byrd fell in love as kids, had their son Sam when they were only teenagers, and built a life together in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon. They were made for one another . . . until they fell apart. Now divorced and in their 30s, Wren runs the bakery in town, while Ellis works as a firefighter. They live separate lives, though they are hardly off each other''s minds.
When Ellis and Wren move Sam into college, Ellis convinces Wren to take an extended road trip back to Spunes to see if they can give their relationship one last chance. Amid the gorgeous California coastline and the intimacy they have missed for years, Wren starts to think it just might be possible. But can the past truly be left behind? When words fail and old wounds resurface, it’s a soul-baring letter that could finally reveal the truth—or close the door on them forever.
Genre: Romance

Praise for this book
"DeWitt delivers an impeccable second chance romance that snatched me off real life and had me breathless until I turned the last page. I'm hopeless when it comes to beautiful prose that makes the world quiet around me, but pair that with a nice dose of angst, spine-tingling steam, and the kind of love that's etched onto your heart, and I'm yours forever. Truly. That's how long I plan on keeping Ellis and Wren's story safely tucked against my chest." - Elena Armas

"Left of Forever is a remarkable romance about grown-up love, about a love worth fighting for again and again, about hard-won love. It's a second chance story for the ages.

"Left of Forever is a testament to the power of a second chance romance...gorgeous, tender, and filled with adorable, lovable, smoldering hope. It's the kind of book that you wish you could live in, and I finished it feeling like an honorary member of the loyal (and nosy) Byrd family, and an honorary citizen of Spunes, Oregon-plus very ready to find a stoic firefighter to bake something for. Five stars!" - Sierra Simone
"A uniquely immersive love story, with writing that's both stunningly lyrical and side-splittingly hilarious.

You'll never look at ice cream the same way again." - Rachel Lynn Solomon

"Tarah DeWitt's Left of Forever packs such an emotional punch -- the pressure it can put on a relationship when you have a kid young, the bittersweetness of sending that same kid off to college still believing that relationship to be broken beyond repair. I loved watching Wren and Ellis find their way back to each other, both through their letters where they could express some of their truest feelings and through the time they spent together. (And oh, the time they spent together!) I would know a Tarah DeWitt romance anywhere." - Alicia Thompson
