Our Song

“A tender and truthful story” (Publishers Weekly) of a small-town girl with a shattered heart who learns about the transformative power of music.

“The resonant and poignant themes of memory, loss, and forgiveness haunt this novel the way the elusive song haunts its heroine.”—Huntley Fitzpatrick, author of My Life Next Door

What happens when you stop and listen to the music?

Olive Bell has spent her entire life in the beautiful suburb of Vista Valley, with a picture-perfect home, a loving family, and a seemingly ideal boyfriend. But after a near-fatal car accident, she’s haunted by a broken heart and a melody she cannot place.

Desperate for answers, Olive meets with the Near-Death Society, a support group for others who’ve shared her experience. That’s where Olive meets Nick. He’s dark, handsome, mysterious . . . and Olive feels connected to him in a way she can’t explain.

The two embark on a whirlwind romance, with dates more romantic than any movie and nights filled with adventure. For the first time ever, Olive understands what it means to feel alive—until Nick shares a troubling secret.

Heartbroken, Olive pieces together what really happened the night of her accident and arrives at a startling revelation. Only by facing the truth can she uncover the mystery behind the song and the power of what it means to love someone.
