The Way They Were by Mary Campisi Book Summary

It's all about that second chance...

Sometimes we’re lucky enough to get that second chance - in life and in love. The Way They Were is a stand-alone story of a young woman who battles heartache and loss with a courage and determination to find new paths and true love. This is book two of That Second Chance series. It is also the prequel to Mary’s bestselling family saga, A Family Affair: The Secret, Truth in Lies, Book Eight.

They promised to love one another forever, but tragedy tore them apart. Now, destiny may just bring them back together.

At eighteen, Rourke Flannigan and Kate Redmond thought they’d spend the rest of their lives together—until a family tragedy tore them apart. Fourteen years have passed, and they’ve both carved out separate lives hundreds of miles apart—hers as a wife and mother, his as a successful, driven businessman. But once a year, Kate pulls out a red velvet journal and writes a letter, which she’ll never send, to the man who still owns her heart. Once a year, on the anniversary of the first and only night they made love, Rourke permits himself to read the annual investigative report detailing an ordinary day in Kate’s life.

When a subcontractor at one of Rourke’s holding companies is killed, Rourke decides to pay the widow a visit and offer condolences, never dreaming the widow will be Kate. As they embark on a cautious journey of rediscovery, one far greater than they could have imagined, secrets and lies threaten to destroy their newfound closeness—forever.

The Way they were. It was ok. If people just communicated half their problems would go away. Nothing more annoying when 30 something year olds act like immature teenagers. Don’t assume, TALK. I skipped a lot of the book. Glad it’s done.

The way we were. Kate is a liar and Rourke is gullible. He believes everything Kate says and Janice too. Only reason I finished it BC I don’t like to start and not finish. Check it out to develop your own opinion but it wasn’t worth the money I paid and I paid 0. GOD bless the author

The Way We Were. My My, this one one of the best stories I have read this year. I could not put the book down, pages kept turning. The 2 main characters were so good. Kinda different with the journal.but getting to the last quarter of the book, it seemed to all come together. Everything made sense as to why things were said or done. Thank You so much

Well-written but dated. This. Oil is well-written but seems like it was written much longer ago than a few years. All of the topical cultural references and even the perspectives of the characters make it seem like it is taking place in 1980, not sometime in the 2015 ish range. This is especially true of the characters perspectives— they just don’t think, talk and act the way people of today do— and it pretty much makes the story unbelievable and less captivating.

Page Turner Book. Enjoyable reading material. Definitely a page turner with twists & turns. Love reading this writer’s books. Highly recommend you add it to your want to read list.

The way they were. I just loved this book. I could hardly put it down. I couldn’t wait to see if Kate and Rourke would finally get to be together after all of those years of being separated and longing for each other. I loved the happy ending!

The Way They Were. Some interesting twists in this story.

Loved it!. Years of misunderstandings, lies, and a love that never died. Read and enjoy all the different veins of this story!

Intriguing. Kept me turning pages and surprised me over and over. A wonderful book and the perfect HEA!

Favorite. Im not much of a “reader” however… I’ve read this book over and over again for about a decade. I tend to play “new moon : the Meadow” on my soundtrack while I read, even though I have the book memorized, i feel so connected. This is a story about lost love and it’s so sentimental and hits close to home for myself. I could go on and on with detail, but I’ll spare you. (Read it!!!!) This story has never let me down. It’s my go-to. I hope some of you feel the same..💋

The Way They Were. Wow! So many different things to come between a couple! Life sure can throw punches and hurt can go on forever.
