The Light We Lost

Author: Jill Santopolo

Lucy and Gabe meet on September 11, 2001, a day that changes their lives forever. As they navigate the complexities of love and loss over the next thirteen years, their paths intertwine and diverge, leaving them to question the choices they’ve made. Through career struggles, personal triumphs, and heartbreaking moments, Lucy grapples with the enduring impact of first love and the bittersweet reality of what-ifs. A poignant exploration of destiny, sacrifice, and the power of timing in shaping our lives.

Sometimes we make decisions that seem right at the time, but later, looking back, were clearly a mistake.
