On March 26, 2001, single mom KD Wagner and her son Bud found themselves in the throes of grief over the murder of her son and Bud's brother, Jeffrey. They both struggled to reassemble their shattered lives when September 11, 2001, struck, and their world changed again. Bud, serving on active duty in the U.S. Navy, rode head-on into Operation Iraqi Freedom. Yet again, the storm delivered a lightning bolt of devastation, killing Bud in a felony hit-and-run as he deployed for a second tour in Iraq.

In the first two books of The Next Day Came, a trilogy, Wagner chronicles the legacies of Jeffrey and Bud, her two sons. In this third installment, KD shares the rest of the story, her own journey through childhood traumas, marriages, motherhood, and losses beyond imagination.
