What if the person you loved most sent you one final email?

A moving, uplifting novel about grief, hope and the unexpected messages that can change a life forever.

Eight months after his wife Maggie dies, widower Anthony Bothwell switches on his computer and discovers an email-from her.

The message is so personal it could only have come from Maggie. And its warning is terrifying.

Is someone playing a cruel trick, or is the impossible really happening?

The emails from maggie.bothwell@theafterlife.org.uk keep coming.

As Anthony's certainty about life, death and everything in between begins to crumble, he replies. Their conversations become tender, funny and deeply moving.

But when a long-buried family secret is uncovered, grief turns to betrayal, and Anthony is forced to question everything he thought he knew about the woman he loved.

Then he meets Brooke, a fellow widow who offers him the chance to begin again.

Can Anthony uncover the truth behind the impossible emails-and find the courage to embrace a second chance?
