A Million Little I Love Yous

Sixteen years went missing between Jake and his estranged mom. Her last three days brought them back together.Jake Sasseville has built a beautiful life on the far side of home. Distance. Success. Constant motion-anything that kept the past sealed shut. He flies to Maine expecting a quick family visit. The moment he lands, the truth finds him: His mother is dying.There's no time for speeches. No time to rehearse forgiveness. Just a hospice room. A BLT request. A monitor keeping time. And a mother's mouth shaping "I love you" with whatever breath she has left-while her son learns, too late and just in time, how to stay.A Million Little I Love Yous follows three unforgettable days at the bedside-tender, awkward, hilarious, unbearable-where the past doesn't get neatly resolved, but something real finally happens between mother and son who ran out of road.This riveting memoir doesn't promise a perfect ending.It offers something rarer: the raw contact of love while it's still breathing.If there's someone you still haven't called-someone you still love, someone you still resent-this story asks one clear question: What would you do with one last chance?
