Just Be (ePub)

This debut romantic novel from music industry insider Witt Stewart explores the transformative power of love, connections that transcend time, and how quirks of fate can change life in an instant.

A successful photographer who specializes in documenting live concerts of A-list bands, Brad Sullivan's love of music is entwined throughout all aspects of his daily life, with certain songs and artists chronicling the emotions of his past, present, and future. They mark the happiest and saddest points in time for him, and help him make sense of his journey on Earth.

When tragedy calls Brad to the deathbed of the beloved woman who helped raise him, his path crosses that of the beautiful, devastated Meredith Atwell in the hospital ER. Their futures are inexorably entwined from the moment their eyes meet, and as they support each other in the following days, healing physically and emotionally, they are drawn further into a deep and empowering relationship marked by startling coincidences and serendipitous commonalities. While attempting to unravel mysteries from Brad's past and reveal the potential for Meredith's future, the whirlwind romance fulfills each in ways they never expected possible.

In the vein of Nicholas Sparks, this tender and heartbreaking story of unexpected second chances, finding peace through music, and the power of forgiveness will inspire you to discover who you truly are and to... just be.
