Something Left Behind: A Novel

When Samantha Kane, a young software developer from Houston, Texas, made her annual visit to the Illinois cemetery where her father was buried, she did not expect to find a bouquet of fresh violets lying across his gravestone. At the same time, when Mark Benton moved into his new office at a small college in Colorado, he did not expect to find a dusty old manila envelope, one that had years earlier fallen behind a file cabinet.

Yet the contents of that envelope would forever bring together these two strangers in ways they could never have imagined. From these chance happenings occurring hundreds of miles apart, Samantha and Mark are drawn together by a poignant mystery which begs to be unraveled. From the very beginning, your heart will race with anticipation as you try to second guess the ending.

But this love story is unlike any other, in that the unexpected will keep you speculating until the very end. Something Left Behind is a story of unrequited love, of love lost and love found. Yet from that story comes another, one equally emotional and uplifting-a story that will tug at your heart strings long after it has been told.
