Kate and Billy McDonald have defied the odds. For twenty-two years they’ve loved each other fiercely, but it hasn’t always been easy. On the road most of the time and fighting for a foothold in the music industry, Billy struggles to make a name for himself. Frustrated and angry, he relies on dangerous methods of coping, until one night, after facing the guilt of his biggest regret, he makes a mistake that could bring his entire world crashing down around him. Amazed at how far they’ve come from their rough beginnings, Kate cherishes her life. Sure, there are things she’d change, like having Billy home more and having a better relationship with her daughter. But when a startling betrayal follows on the heels of an unbearable loss, Kate’s world spirals out of control, leaving her staggering and wondering if it’s even possible to pick up the pieces. What happens when love implodes? Can it rise from the ashes, or will we all fall down? We All Fall Down is the second book in the Of Love and Madness trilogy. It is not a standalone, and to fully appreciate the characters, it is recommended that you read At This Moment first. The third and final book in the series, All I Ever Wanted, will be released in the spring of 2017. less
