Introducing the exclusive cover reveal of You And Me And Us by Alison Hammer. This novel will publish on April 7, 2020 from William Morrow. I love supporting debut authors and am thrilled to introduce Alison and her book to you. Alison is the founder of the Every Damn Day Writers. She has been spinning words to tell stories since she learned how to talk. A graduate of the University of Florida and the Creative Circus in Atlanta, she lived in nine cities before settling down in Chicago where she works as a VP creative director at an advertising agency. You And Me And Us is her first novel.

Exclusive Cover Reveal of You And Me And Us

You know the book will be great when Camille Pagán blurbs it…

“You and Me and Us is that rare novel you want to savor even as you’re turning the pages as fast as possible. This poignant and heartrending story of a family redefining their roles in the face of a crisis made me smile and cry. Even better, it made me profoundly grateful for my own family. Alison Hammer is an exciting new voice in women’s fiction, and I can’t wait to read what she writes next.” —Camille Pagán, bestselling author of I’m Fine and Neither Are You.

Gorgeous cover, right?

Pre-order it here.

The heartbreaking, yet hopeful, story of a mother and daughter struggling to be a family without the one person who holds them together—a perfect summer read for fans of Jojo Moyes and Marisa de los Santos.

Alexis Gold knows how to put the “work” in working mom. It’s the “mom” part that she’s been struggling with lately. Since opening her own advertising agency three years ago, Alexis has all but given up on finding a good work/life balance. Instead, she’s handed over the household reins to her supporting, loving partner, Tommy. While he’s quick to say they divide and conquer, Alexis knows that Tommy does most of the heavy lifting—especially when it comes to their teenage daughter, CeCe.

Their world changes in an instant when Tommy receives a terminal cancer diagnosis, and Alexis realizes everything she’s worked relentlessly for doesn’t matter without him. So Alexis does what Tommy has always done for her—she puts him first. And when the only thing Tommy wants is to spend one last summer together in Destin, Florida, at “their” beach, she puts her career on hold to make it happen…even if it means putting her family within striking distance of Tommy’s ex, an actress CeCe idolizes.

But Alexis and Tommy aren’t the only ones whose lives have been turned inside out. In addition to dealing with the normal ups and downs that come with being a teenager, CeCe is forced to confront her feelings about Tommy’s illness—and what will happen when the one person who’s always been there for her is gone. When the magic of first love brings a bright spot to her summer, CeCe is determined not to let her mother ruin that for her, too.

As CeCe’s behavior becomes more rebellious, Alexis realizes the only thing harder for her than losing Tommy will be convincing CeCe to give her one more chance.

You And Me And Us is a beautifully written novel that examines the unexpected ways loss teaches us how to love.

Alison – what will you do for an encore? I know you got a several book deal, but you are constantly surprising me with all you do. You are fearless and I am so proud of you! We’re moving to Ecuador and can’t take books with us, so I’ll have to get the kindle/online edition. Darn. No way to sign those! Doreen
