Sometimes the person you love most is the person you have to stop chasing.
Clara has spent years loving Mason through every promise, every relapse,
every goodbye, and every return. Each time he leaves, she is left behind to
hold their family together. And each time he comes back, a part of her wants
to believe this time will be different.
But Clara is changing.
As she fights to protect the fragile stability she has built for herself and her
children, she begins confronting the wounds that taught her to confuse love
with waiting, forgiveness with forgetting, and devotion with loosing herself.
Mason says he wants to change. Clara wants desperately to believe him. But
rebuilding a family requires more than just coming home-it requires
accountability, recovery, trust, and the courage to stay when leaving has
always been easier.
Set against the emotional landscape of small-town Texas, Every Time You
Leave is a heartbreaking and hopeful story about addiction, recovery,
motherhood, marriage, abandonment, second chances, and a woman
discovering that she can love someone without abandoning herself.
Every Time You Leave is Book One of The Leaving Trilogy.
