New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard was in her late fifties when she met the first true partner she had ever known. He wore a rakish hat over a good head of hair; he asked real questions and gave real answers; he loved to see Joyce shine, both in and out of the spotlight; and he didn t mind the mess she made in the kitchen.

The Best of Us is their story. Charting the course through their whirlwind romance, a marriage cut short by tragedy, and Joyce's return to singleness on new terms, The Best of Us is a heart-wrenching, ultimately life-affirming reflection on coming to understand true love through the experience of great loss.

Joyce Maynard is most known for her works of memoir and fiction. Two of her novels have been adapted into screenplays and major motion pictures, To Die For and Labor Day.
