The Road Beyond Regret: Roots and Redemption Book Two

Some wounds can’t be bandaged. Some paths can’t be planned. And sometimes, the hardest road leads to the healing we need most.

When pediatrician Hannah Miller discovers her husband has gambled away their home and savings for the second time, she takes their four-year-old daughter Harper and leaves. But before Hannah can even process her shattered marriage, the unthinkable happens—her husband Zach takes his own life, leaving her drowning in grief, debt, and unanswerable questions.

Now living with her parents on their Tennessee farm, Hannah’s bitter rage becomes her shield against overwhelming pain. As she struggles to protect Harper from the harsh reality of their loss, Hannah finds herself lashing out at everyone—including her sister-in-law Sadie, who returned from her own addiction journey just as Hannah’s world fell apart.

Between funeral arrangements, mounting bills, and a daughter who keeps asking when Daddy’s coming home from heaven, Hannah can barely breathe, let alone heal. But when she discovers evidence that Zach was desperately trying to get help before he died, the black-and-white picture of her marriage begins to develop shades of gray.

With the unexpected support of her family, glimpses of her husband’s goodness, and her daughter’s resilient spirit, Hannah faces her hardest choice: Will she remain trapped in her anger, or risk opening her heart to the possibility of forgiveness—not just for Zach, but for herself?

Set against the backdrop of rural Tennessee, this powerful story of one family’s journey through grief, addiction, and redemption reminds us that even when the road ahead seems unbearable, love’s roots run deeper than our deepest regrets.

Perfect for readers of Colleen Hoover, Delia Owens, and Kristin Hannah, The Road Beyond Regret will break your heart and then begin to heal it.
