About Until There Was You by Montgomery Adams
She is eighty-one years old, and every morning she sets out two cups of coffee — one for herself, and one for someone who isn’t there. In Houston, a lifetime ago, Sofia married Luke Callahan — a man whose name changed rooms, who kept a set of doors he would not open, and who learned to cook badly and then gloriously. He fed half his taco to a stray dog under a counter where he thought she couldn’t see. And the thing that would kill him at thirty had been written in his blood since before he was born. Three years of marriage, and fifty-six of widowhood. Until There Was You is the story of an unexpected love that changed everything, told by the woman who lived it — tender without sentimentality, about the people who arrive late and matter most, and about learning to hold what we love with an open hand. For readers of Gabriel García Márquez, Marilynne Robinson and Kazuo Ishiguro. ON SALE: $0.99 (regularly $4.99) from Monday 14 September to Sunday 20 September 2026.

Author Bio:
Montgomery Adams writes elegiac literary romance — love stories told with the patience and interior depth of literary fiction. Until There Was You spans half a century and two continents, following one woman across three years of marriage and fifty-six of widowhood, and turning memory, timing, and absence into the very shape of the book. Tender without sentimentality, it is a novel about the people who arrive late and matter most, and about learning to hold what we love with an open hand — for readers who love Gabriel García Márquez, Marilynne Robinson, and the quiet ache of Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day.
