One Last Gift

A heartbreaking, heartwarming, beautifully emotional Christmas novel about grief, healing, and the messages love leaves behind.

Cassie always believed her brother Tom was the one person who truly understood her — her protector, her anchor, her best friend. But when he dies unexpectedly, Cassie is left adrift, struggling to navigate a world that suddenly feels too heavy and too quiet.

Then Christmas arrives, and with it… a letter.

A letter written by Tom before he passed — the first clue in a treasure hunt, a tradition the siblings shared since childhood. Each clue leads Cassie on a journey that stretches across cities, memories, and heartbreaks, pushing her to face the grief she’s been running from.

Along the way, Cassie crosses paths again with Sam — Tom’s best friend, and the man she once loved but pushed away. As she follows Tom’s trail of gentle wisdom and final wishes, Cassie begins to rediscover not just who she was, but who she might become.

Tender, nostalgic, and beautifully crafted, One Last Gift is a story about love that refuses to fade — even after loss. It’s about second chances, the family we’re born into and the family we choose, and how the smallest message can change the course of a life.

Perfect for readers who love emotional Christmas stories, heartfelt romance, and novels that make you both cry and breathe a littler.
