Rochelle B. Weinstein is the USA Today and Amazon bestselling author of This Is Not How It Ends, Somebody’s Daughter, Where We Fall, The Mourning After, and What We Leave Behind. Born and raised in Miami, Weinstein is a former entertainment industry executive. She is currently working on her seventh novel, scheduled for release May 2023. In When We Let Go: A Novel (Lake Union Publishing), when Jude Masters, a widowed father and the man she loves, proposes to Avery Beckett, it should be a time of great joy. Instead, she’s on edge – wary of the idea of family, doubtful of happy endings, and too afraid to leap. It’s the kind of fear that comes from having secrets. So before Avery commits to a new life, she must make peace with the one she left behind. Returning to her childhood home on a farm in the North Carolina mountains, she’s surprised to be saddled with a companion: Jude’s teenage daughter, Elle, who’s grappling with the loss of her mother and the complicated emotions of first love. As they mend wounds and break down walls, Avery and Elle form an unexpected alliance that gives them both the courage to move forward.
