The day she sees him for the last time she contemplates the physical and moral gifts he has given to her over the years, which only causes her to question her own legacy. As Caroline's grandfather lay dying she recalls the seemingly mundane experiences that shaped her life. Years of poor decisions driven by selfish ambition and unrealistic romantic expectations lead her on a path of disillusionment and disappointment. Currently plagued by anxiety and surrealistic nightmares, Caroline is left sleep deprived and uptight. She has changed so much from that carefree child that she assumes her grandfather remembers, the simpleminded adolescent that her mother chided and the affable woman that her husband fell in love with. Will Caroline be able to reconcile with loved ones after so many insults and bad decisions? Can she find peace despite the consequences? This tragic day becomes a day Caroline will never forget as she struggles with love, death and the crippled relationships that she helped create. " And Other Things Left Behind" is a novel about finding the calm among the chaos, joy in times of grief and purpose in times of self-discovery. Filled with romance and heartbreak, it is also a story about forgiveness and second chances.
