Book
The lost husband : a novel / Katherine Center.
"After the sudden death of her husband, Danny, Libby went to stay with her hypercritical mother. Now her crazy Aunt Jean has offered Libby an escape: a job and a place to live on her farm in the Texas Hill Country. Before she can talk herself out of it, Libby is packing the minivan, grabbing the kids, and hitting the road. Beyond the animals and the strenuous work, there is a deep, country quiet. But there is also a shaggy, gruff (though purportedly handsome, under all that hair) farm manager with a tragic home life, a formerly famous feed-store clerk who claims she can contact Danny "on the other side," and the eccentric aunt Libby never really knew but who turns out to be exactly what she's been looking for."--from back cover.

After the sudden loss of her husband, Libby Moran, falling on hard times, gets an unexpected chance to start over when an estranged aunt offers her a job and a place to live on a goat farm where she and her children discover that country life isn't quite what they expected--but is just what they need. Original. - Random House, Inc.
A âsweet tale about creating the family you needâ (People) that explores the trials of losing what matters mostâand how thereâs always more than we can imagine left to findâfrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Bodyguard and The Rom-Commers.
Now a major motion picture starring Leslie Bibb and Josh Duhamel
Â
Dear Libby, It occurs to me that you and your two children have been living with your mother forâDear Lord!âtwo whole years, and Iâm writing to see if you'd like to be rescued.
Â
The letter comes out of the blue, and just in time for Libby Moran, whoâafter the sudden death of her husband, Dannyâwent to stay with her hypercritical mother. Now her crazy Aunt Jean has offered Libby an escape: a job and a place to live on her farm in the Texas Hill Country. Before she can talk herself out of it, Libby is packing the minivan, grabbing the kids, and hitting the road.
Â
Life on Aunt Jeanâs goat farm is both more wonderful and more mysterious than Libby could have imagined. Beyond the animals and the strenuous work, there is quietâdeep, country quiet. But there is also a shaggy, gruff (though purportedly handsome, under all that hair) farm manager with a tragic home life, a formerly famous feed-store clerk who claims she can contact Danny âon the other side,â and the eccentric aunt Libby never really knew but who turns out to be exactly what sheâs been looking for. And despite everything sheâs lost, Libby soon realizes how much more sheâs found. She hasnât just traded one kind of crazy for another: She may actually have found the place to bring her little familyâand herselfâback to life.
