Sometimes, we know the least about those we love the most.
When Virginia DeLuca’s sixty-year-old husband walked out saying he wanted babies, everyone had a theory. He already knocked someone up. Nervous breakdown. Brain tumor.
DeLuca, a psychotherapist, spent decades helping clients cope with sudden losses and dramatic changes—and now it’s happened to her. She was left with the mystery of the ending and the need to forge an unfamiliar path.
If You Must Go, I Wish You Triplets is an unflinching exploration of love and relationships from a woman who ultimately found that life can expand in unanticipated ways.
The book will be available April 22nd, 2025.
