Nora Vale buried her husband on a Thursday. On Friday, he asked her to dismantle their marriage.
Adrian has left twelve envelopes and a single instruction: return what is inside. The first contains a key from the summer of 1985, when a hotel fire shattered Nora's family and took away the future she had planned. But the objects that follow suggest the past she has lived with for four decades is not the whole truth.
As Nora follows the trail through the lives Adrian quietly altered, she discovers that grief did not erase her past. Someone edited it. And the man she loved was not only her rescuer, but the keeper of a secret that could undo everything their daughter believes about herself.
Every Life I Owed You is a character-driven family mystery about first love, late courage and the terrible tenderness of people who do the wrong thing for reasons that feel like love.
