READ SAMPLE

  • The hardest journey begins at home.

    After her father's betrayal shatters the family, Sophie, her younger sister Logan, and her brother Aiden are forced to leave the only life they've ever known. Thrust into a run-down apartment, a dangerous new school, and a world where poverty, fear, and loneliness replace security, Sophie finds herself trapped between an absent father desperate to make things right and a mother whose grief is spiraling into anger and abuse.

    As friendships fade, hope grows scarce, and the walls of home become as frightening as the streets outside, Sophie shoulders an impossible burden: protecting the people she loves while trying not to lose herself in the process. Every day tests her resilience. Every choice forces her to grow up far too soon. Yet even in the darkest moments, the smallest acts of love, courage, and compassion become lifelines that refuse to let her sink.

    Heartbreaking, hopeful, and profoundly moving, All We've Lost is an unforgettable coming-of-age novel about family, trauma, resilience, and the extraordinary strength it takes to believe that your past does not have to define your future. Sometimes, after losing everything, the hardest journey is finding your way back to yourself.

PRAISE FOR ALL WE’VE LOST

  • The well-structured plot moves forward effortlessly by documenting their daily difficulties and the stresses a single mother’s situation places on the relationship with her children. The author’s characterization of Sophie is heartwarming and so realistic. I found myself experiencing feelings of sadness and anger when she suffered, and feelings of happiness and joy when her life turned around.
