Jackson is running out of time. Meanwhile, Evelyn Greene, his soon-to-be ex-wife, holds the timer.
For Jackson, things never seemed to pan out the way he thought it would. That is, until he met Evelyn; until the puzzle pieces of his life seemingly clicked into place. But then, tragedy hit, and those same pieces came crumbling apart.
Now, after eleven years together, Jackson finds himself in the midst of their divorce proceedings. Granted only one more day to see Evelyn, to set things right, he struggles to hold onto his fading past: Raging against the inevitable, he writes to her in one last attempt to save the life they made and destroyed. But that's just it with tragedy--it can either bring two people together, or completely tear them apart.
Will Jackson be able to get through to Evelyn? Or has his fate already been decided?
Can someone really fix the mistakes of their past?

The Falling of Leaves took me by surprise. It’s so refreshing to read something that doesn’t rush, doesn’t dramatize, but still hits you right in the heart. It’s written with such care and emotion that you can feel every word. I don’t want to give anything away, but I will say this: it’s the kind of story that stays with you quietly, long after you’re done. Thank you for writing this amazing book💕
The Falling of Leaves was absolutely breathtaking. It was emotional, raw, and beautifully written—every word pulled on my heartstrings and stayed with me long after I finished. The only downside was how much it made me cry (far more than I’d like to admit!), but that just shows how powerful and moving this story truly is. A must-read that deserves every bit of 5 stars.
I LOVED this book. I went on a short weekend trip and ended up sitting at my campsite reading, instead of exploring the area. Each conversation and interaction was well thought through. It feels so intimate! Great job on a great second book! Cannot wait for your third book!
This was an incredible book that I couldn’t put down. Beautifully written and left me feeling empty and wanting more by the end. The story was emotional and real and unlike any other book I’ve read before. I didn’t know what to expect when I first picked up this book, but I can honestly say that this is a book that I will continue to think about and recommend to others.
Beautiful. Authentic. Raw. Emotional. These are the words that describe this book. Salina’s writing style is so beautiful and easy to follow. I found myself re-reading multiple paragraphs and sentences just because of how beautifully written & descriptive they were. I finished this book a few weeks ago, and I still find myself thinking about it. I felt as if I knew these two characters personally by the end of the book and if I had walked alongside them in their journey. This was a heartbreakingly beautiful book.
I loved how honest this book was. How it portrayed the highs, lows, trials, and tribulations many couples, (and individuals) face in real life. While heavier topics were discussed, I do feel as if Salina approached it with grace and sensitivity while also portraying the real life emotions that accompany them.
