But then Joel Campbell--the man who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters--offers her a sealed envelope from his late cousin Cecelia asking Joel and Ingrid to put their differences aside and retrieve a mysterious package in their coastal Washington hometown.Honoring Cecelia's last request will challenge their convictions and test their loyalties but through it all will Ingrid and Joel be brave enough to uncover a twice-in-a-lifetime love?The Words We Lost is thought-provoking and tender capturing the transformative beauty of surviving.--T.I.
