AUGUSTA, Ga. - nvtip -- Author Marian L. Thomas announces the release of her highly anticipated women's fiction novel, What Love Leaves Behind, available March 24, 2026. A finalist in the USA Best Book Awards, the novel is gaining attention for its emotionally powerful exploration of love, loss, motherhood, identity, and the hidden truths that shape family.

Blending emotional storytelling with compelling family drama, What Love Leaves Behind begins with two newborns, two families forever changed, and one decision that will echo for years to come.

When a young mother dies in childbirth, nurse Etta Harris feels an immediate and undeniable connection to the baby girl left behind. She believes the child, Storm, is meant to be hers. Across the hospital, Darren Johnson faces an unthinkable future after losing his wife while welcoming his newborn son, Isaiah, into the world. As the years unfold, the lives of these two children — and the families shaped by that night — become intertwined in ways no one could have predicted.
