Smashwords
Since her husband Carlos
passed away, at such a young age, Julia Mendoza’s
business is her number one priority. Annoyance with

Christophe Augustine is

she’s running the other way. Julia and Chris fumble
through fun moments, annoying confrontations, passionate

but when one is ready to love and the other one isn’t... |

Born of death, this book
is full of life.
When All That's Left
of Me Is Love is a moving and insightful account

bond between mothers and daughters, a spiritual journey,
a touching love story, a poetry lesson, and even a case
for happy hour.
This story of a daughter's
undying love for her dying mother will touch and inspire
not only those who face or fear death but also those
who love and embrace life.
