About this listen
Josh finds himself homeless at 18, but he has a plan. He’ll head north on the bus to New England and spend October there for his mother’s sake. She always talked about going to see the fall leaves someday. And when the leaves are done and the harsh winter comes, Josh plans to find a place to curl up and let go. It will be a relief to finally stop fighting.
Mark spent his life trying to live up to the tough swagger of his older brothers until he pushed himself so far against his nature that he cracked. Now a former Marine, he rents a little cabin in the White Mountains of New Hampshire where he can lick his wounds and figure out what to do with the rest of his life. One thing was clear: Mark was nobody’s hero.
Fate intervenes when Josh sets up camp under a covered bridge near Mark’s cabin. Mark recognizes the dead look in the young stranger’s eyes, and he feels compelled to do something about it. When Mark offers Josh a job, he never expects that he’ll be the one to fall.
The snow is coming soon. Can Mark convince Josh that the two of them can build a life together before the flurries begin?
Trigger warning: Suicidal thoughts

Heartwrenching and magnificent!
This book gives all the feels. If you're a hurt/comfort fan like me - you NEED to read this book. I just about felt EVERYTHING while reading this story and adored every second. Brilliant characters with a steadily moving plot that fills your heart - I can see it being a favourite re-read for me from now on. Sixty billion stars.
The audio by Michael Stellman is very well done and highly enjoyable.

Lovely tenderness and chemistry between the two leads!
Homeless with a plan to kill himself, Josh travels to the White Mountains in New Hampshire where he meets former Marine, Mark, who is struggling to earn a living after life in the military. Mark offers Josh a home and a job, recognising how much Josh is struggling, and maybe each can stop the other from falling down. This really hit the spot! The characters were well-developed, there was a lovely chemistry between the two gentle leads, and the story was rich and emotional without being overly sentimental. I loved the exploration of how precarious Josh found everything, not daring to dream life could be better in case his hopes were (yet again) dashed. I also appreciated the messages about men not needing to be hard asses. Michael Stellman is so good - he narrated the audio so deftly and his tone perfectly matched the story’s tenderness!

Loved this!
As usual Eli Easton has beautifully written a complex love story involving so much sadness, depth and also hope. Such a picturesque setting with second chances at life and found family. Narration was great.
