A deeply moving story about forgiveness, family, and the ties that outlast loss.

When tragedy shatters Julia Martin's world on the night she gives birth, she has nowhere to turn but home -- to the sprawling South Carolina estate she once fled. Within those familiar walls, memories of her mother's coldness and her father's judgment return with crushing clarity. But grief has a way of unraveling truths long buried, and Julia soon learns that her mother's silence has its own painful story to tell.

Decades earlier, Iris Martin sought solace in an unlikely friendship and a small flower shop that became her lifeline. Yet one devastating mistake destroyed everything she held dear. Now, facing her darkest days, Iris must summon the courage to reveal the past she's hidden for so long -- and hope her daughter will forgive the choices that broke them both.

Only One Life is a tender, redemptive novel about mothers and daughters, second chances, and the fragile beauty of starting over.

Some secrets are buried in the past. Others wait behind the front door.
