Description
A soul-stirring second-chance love story set across decades and landscapes, Blue by You explores the enduring power of love, the grief of unimaginable loss, and the magic of unexpected redemption.
When cancer claimed Daniel’s young wife, a woman he’d known since they were children, he fled the nation’s capital for the remoteness of the Colorado mountains, leaving behind his law practice and everything else that held meaning. He convinced himself there were no do-overs in life, no second chances masquerading as firsts. Nothing left worth living for except Blue, his dog.
Then Paula swept into his mountain exile for seven extraordinary days and left him a changed man. Decades later and a thousand miles away, a chance encounter reunited them, yet she had no memory of him or their time together.
Life had given Daniel a do-over. A second chance for a first time.
Fans of Nicholas Sparks will be captivated by this emotional journey of love, loss, and the rare beauty of a do-over in life.

"Authentic and witty dialogue. The repartee, flirtations and verbal jousting are superb. Some actor is going to read this book and say it must be made into a movie so I can do these lines."
Praise for Gildersleeve’s Other Works
“One of the tighter manuscripts I’ve read in the genre...The narrative moves along exceptionally well as far as plot and structure...Your tone is clear and tight, and I couldn’t possibly pick it apart as it’s good...You very successfully use a lot of dialogue to carry your story, which is terrific. Your grasp of grammar and syntax is pretty much impeccable” – Amazon Editorial Review
"A heartwarming book that will delight you as the characters come off the pages and into your lives."
