He was the love of her life. He’s my husband.
Then: Ally
I didn’t think my heart could take it when David and I ended things. He was my first love, my everything. But as soon as he met Charlotte, I knew that nothing would ever be the same. We were friends once, me and her. But some things are too broken to fix… aren’t they?
Now: Charlotte
The hospital waiting room door flies open, and I look up desperately, willing somebody—anybody—to tell me that David is going to be alright. But it’s not a doctor. It’s Ally; her face pale, her hair wild. It’s years since we were close, but I’d know her anywhere. She loved my husband first, and I suspect still owns a piece of his heart that I’ve never managed to get back.
How did she hear about David? Why is she here? But then her eyes fill with tears. “It’s Joe,” she whispers, “my husband. He’s had an accident too. But they won’t tell me anything…”
Our husbands are fighting for their lives, and all we can do is wait. With the future so uncertain for us both, Ally and I begin to untangle the past. After all these years of secrets and hurt, has fate thrown us together again for a reason? One thing is certain: after tonight, nothing will ever be the same again…
From the bestselling author of Always You and Me, comes a completely heartbreaking and emotional page-turner about love, friendship and impossible choices. Perfect for fans of Shari Low, Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon.
A dual tragedy disrupts the lives of two couples who share an unexpected connection from the past.
Author Dani Atkins builds suspense from the beginning of Our Song, creating the catalyst for two women to cross paths at the hospital.
A dual narrative alternates between Ally and Charlotte, with the painful past unfolding in an emotional barrage of love and loss. It’s a gut-wrenching story about true love without the requisite happily-ever-after ending.
When a secret is revealed, the two women must determine how to work together in the aftermath of devastating circumstances. Make sure there is a box of tissues available for this one.
Our Song highlights how the past surfaces amid difficult choices.
Dani was born and brought up in Cockfosters- a small London suburb at the end of the Piccadilly Tube Line.
This served her well for commuting into the city, where from the age of 18 she worked in a succession of secretarial positions in companies as diverse as a BMW car dealership to the BBC. Dani spent her two hour commute avidly reading and dreamed that one day she would become an author herself.
When her two children grew up and left home, Dani set about turning this dream into reality and devoted her time to writing. She now lives in a rural Hertfordshire cottage with her husband, a soppy border collie dog and a haughty Siamese cat.
