Books like Hannah's List by Debbie Macomber
On the anniversary of his beloved wife's death, widowed Dr. Michael Everett receives a letter Hannah had written to him. She reminds him of their love and asks, on her final wish, that he marry again. To honor her request, Hannah has chosen three women for him to consider: Winter Adams, a chef and cafe owner on Seattle’s Blossom Street; Leanne Lancaster, Hannah’s oncology nurse; and Macy Roth, an energetic, artistic rescuer of stray animals. Each woman carries her own heartache—Winter has ended a past relationship, Leanne is divorced from a defrauding husband, and Macy longs for family while caring for animals. Over the months that follow, Michael spends time with Winter, Leanne, and Macy, learning more about their lives—and about himself. Through Hannah’s guidance, he confronts his grief, discovers the completeness love can offer, and finds the woman who can help him heal.
