Grace Cochran spent decades building a full life: a successful Manhattan gallery, a devoted husband, a beloved son, and the comforting belief that some questions no longer needed answers. The loss of her first love belongs to another lifetime. Or so she believes. In an art gallery in Provence, Grace discovers a painting that shouldn't exist. A painting that captures an intimate moment from the summer she shared with her first love, Scooter Jamison. Vowing to find the artist, Grace follows a trail from Manhatta n to Greenwich to Atlanta, and finally to the lavender fields of Provence. With every answer comes another question, forcing her to confront the fragile line between memory and truth, and the life she chose versus the one she lost. A painting that shouldn't exist. A moment no one else could have witnessed. For readers of emotionally rich novels about love, memory, and second chances, YOU FOUND ME is a story about the lives we build, the loves that shape us, and the unexpected ways the past can lead us home.
Kenneth Lemm is an award-winning screenwriter. His debut novel YOU FOUND ME explores memory, belonging, and the unexpected ways the past shapes our futures. He divides his time between southwest Florida and rural Georgia, where he is at work on his next novel.
"I long to understand why people do the things they do. I’m drawn to writing about characters and their motivations... Our relationships with friends and family affect how we see the world and make us who we are."
