    About this ebook

    Matthew's wife, Kate, and unborn child were killed 18 months ago in a car wreck. The loss threw him into a spiraling depression that caused him to lose everything and move back in with his father. When he finally decides to attend a support group meeting, he finds that he does not have the courage to go through with it and ends up drinking instead, where he meets an unusual woman who gives him some unsolicited help.

      I Never

      “What’d you do now?” he hollered. Sheriff Thorn’s words struck my heart. Without thinking, I grasped the knife to pull it from her chest. “Shit, you crazy coot, drop it,” he snarled, then grabbed me up and slammed me against the side of the cruiser.
