You will laugh out loud and you will cry. Sunday Telegraph

In the aftermath of crushing grief, sole parent Kate Whittaker must learn to live and love again. When she and her boss, Hugh, become stranded in a sleepy hamlet north of Byron Bay, she finally has a chance to process all that she's been through and all that the future might hold. Caught in an impossible tangle of loss, love, and unexpected longing, Kate wonders if she can risk her heart again.

All she has to guide her is the trail of scribbled notes she once used to hold her life together. The first note captured her heart. Will the last note set it free?

The Australian tear-jerker that has won hearts the world over.

Funny, heart-breaking and life-affirming. Woman's Day

Several people told me I was going to love The Last Love Note but I have to admit - I did not expect to become obsessed with it in the way I have! It's somehow simultaneously unputdownable, heartbreaking AND funny. That's a difficult combination to master but Emma's writing is just incredible. Kelly Rimmer

About the Author

Emma is a novelist, feature writer, photographer, professional speaker and accountability coach. She wrote her first adult novel, The Last Love Note, in the wake of her husband's death. It's a fictional tribute to their love, an attempt to articulate the magnitude of her loss and a life-affirming commitment to hope, which has gone on to win hearts around the world. In the US it was selected as a featured title for the Book of the Month and Target Book Clubs, a Washington Post noteworthy book and listed in the top 25 new releases by the American Bookseller's Association. Emma lives just outside Canberra, where her world centres on her two adult daughters, young son, loved step-children and step-grandchildren, writing, photography and endlessly chasing the Aurora Australis.
