Moving on isn’t easy when the past won’t let you go…
Sous chef Aimee Tierney has the perfect recipe for the perfect life: marry her childhood sweetheart, raise a family, and buy out her parents’ restaurant. But when her fiancé, James Donato, vanishes in a boating accident, her well-baked future is swept out to sea. Instead of walking down the aisle on their wedding day, Aimee is at James’s funeral—a funeral that leaves her more unsettled than at peace.
As Aimee struggles to reconstruct her life, she delves deeper into James’s disappearance. What she uncovers is an ocean of secrets that make her question everything about the life they built together. And just below the surface is a truth that may set Aimee free…or shatter her forever.
A luminous debut with unexpected twists, Everything We Keep explores the devastation of loss, the euphoria of finding love again, and the pulse-racing repercussions of discovering the truth about the ones we hold dear and the lengths they will go to protect us.

In EVERYTHING WE KEEP, Kerry Lonsdale brilliantly explores the grief of loss, if we can really let go of our great loves, and if some secrets are better left buried.

A perfect page-turner for summerCatherine McKenzie, bestselling author of Hidden and Fractured
Everything We Keep takes your breath from the very first line and keeps it through a heart-reeling number of twists and turns. Well-plotted, with wonderful writing and pacing, on the surface it appears to be a story of love and loss, but just as you begin to think you’ve worked it out, you’re blindsided and realize you haven’t. It will keep you reading and guessing, and trust me, you still won’t have it figured out. Not until the very end.Barbara Taylor Sissel, author of Crooked Little Lies and Faultlines
Wow—it’s been a long time since I ignored all of my responsibilities and read a book straight through, but it couldn’t be helped with Everything We Keep. I was intrigued from the start…So many questions, and Lonsdale answers them in the most intriguing and captivating way possible. Camille Di Maio, author of The Memory of Us
[Everything We Keep] sucked me in and kept me turning the pages until the very end and leaving me very satisfied.Rebel Mommy Book Blog
[Everything We Keep] was so well written, that there were no wasted words or wasted dialogue. The story goes into the past, when you need to know something to understand the present. Just when you think this is going to be another predictable story line, Kerry Lonsdale takes you down another road.Ope's Opinions
When I read the last pages and let the ending sink in, I literally looked around the room to see if there was someone else that was feeling the same way I was. Of course, there wasn’t, but that didn’t stop me! I had all of the feelings! Joy, confusion, sadness, shock!Starry Eyed Blonde
[Everything We Keep] is a spine tingling debut…that will leave you wanting more.Worth Getting in Bed For
I loved the writing in this book and the pacing was spot on. Be forewarned that once you get to the back half there are things happening on each and every page and you may need to not start on the back half until you are ready to stay in once place until it ends!Kritters Ramblings
I would highly recommend giving this one a try; Kerry shows tremendous potential to grow in her future work, although I’m not sure how that’s possible based on Everything We Keep. She knows how to weave together a suspenseful story with deep characters in meaningful relationships, romantic and platonic. I’ll be remembering this story for awhile and cannot wait to get my hands on her next novel!The Suspense is Thrilling Me
WOW. What a fantastic book!! I’ve been in this reading rut for the last month or so. I’ve read quite a few books, most of which have been pretty good, but none that have made me say WOW. Until this one! This book is phenomenal!Palmer's Page Turners
