Publisher's Summary
Named one of 31 of the Best New Books You Should Read This Spring by Popsugar
When a young widow's reclusive life in a charming beach town is interrupted by a surprise visitor, she is forced to reckon with dark secrets about her family, her late husband, and the past she tried to leave behind.
Lauren Adelman and her high school sweetheart, Rory Kincaid, are a golden couple. They marry just out of college as Rory, a star hockey player, earns a spot in the NHL. Their future could not look brighter when Rory shocks everyone - Lauren most of all - by enlisting in the US Army. When Rory dies in combat, Lauren is left devastated, alone, and under unbearable public scrutiny.
Seeking peace and solitude, Lauren retreats to her family's old beach house on the Jersey Shore. But this summer she's forced to share the house with her overbearing mother and competitive sister. Worse, a stranger making a documentary about Rory tracks her down and persuades her to give him just an hour of her time.
One hour with filmmaker Matt Brio turns into a summer of revelations, surprises, and upheaval. As the days grow shorter and her grief changes shape, Lauren begins to understand the past - and to welcome the future.

"A tale of the complexities of sisterhood, love, and the secrets we keep-even from ourselves - The Husband Hour will grab you from the first sentence and hold you until the last. I absolutely could not put it down." (Kristy Woodson Harvey, author of Slightly South of Simple and The Secret to Southern Charm)
"A beautiful story of grief, healing, the power of forgiveness, and the enduring love of family." (Amy Poeppel, author of Small Admissions)
