The book

A journey to find her. And himself.

A second-chance road novel. A man’s point of view.

Dear Readers,

you may be wondering, who did I write this book for?

It is for everyone who still carries a name that will not leave.

It is for everyone who would leave tonight, with little in their pocket and too much in their heart.

It is for everyone who wants to cross America without getting off the novel.

It is for everyone looking for a second chance.

It is for everyone who, after a crash, would hold on to a single memory.

It is for everyone who has truly loved. For those who were loved and then left. For those who suffer, and will have their turn. And for those who think Love does not exist.

J.J. Flynn

After a crash that erases his memory, Ray wakes with no past. All he has left is a name: Amy.

On a motorcycle he starts a desperate ride across America — deserts, cities, coincidences that feel written. The more he looks for her, the more he finds the pieces he had buried: a marriage coming apart, a hollow nothing can fill, and a love that still burns.

Back to Her is a fierce, tormented second chance, a male slow burn of love, betrayal, friendship, mystery and return. A novel for anyone who wants a story that makes you cry, shake, and hope again.

From the start

A coffee, a name.

Sitting with his coffee, eyes lost… and he saw her. Tall, red hair, stunning. Patchwork jacket. Tight jeans. Teal glasses. Blue eyes. Untouchable.

A friend of hers arrived: “Hey! Amy, so good to see you!” Name obtained: Amy.

The voices. The rest, on the book.

Not an aggregator: real lines, with names, on Amazon. For a novel like this, that is the proof.

A novel that leaves a mark

«A novel that leaves a mark, the kind that stays on you after the last page. This story is intense, true, and surprisingly deep.»
Daiana · Amazon

Gripping

«A gripping story, surreal in places, with turns, signs and coincidences that make you believe in real love again. I recommend this book with my heart.»
Kindle Customer · Amazon

The story isn’t obvious!

«Beautiful!! Beautiful!! You can’t stop reading..»
Roberto Zangirolami · Amazon

Worth reading

«I liked the pace because it doesn’t rush and it leaves room for feeling. In places I even cried. The journey was the part I loved most.»
marra elo · Amazon

A beautiful discovery

«I expected a purely romantic story, but there is also an introspective side I found interesting. The protagonist changes a lot on the journey, and some of his thoughts made me think. The writing is smooth and I never got bored. I will definitely read more by the same author.»
Merry Natale · Amazon

«I really didn’t expect it to be like this — a pleasant surprise. It looked like any other little book, but it had, and has, a lot to say.»

You write the dedication!

Every month I give away a copy with a dedication — and you choose the words.

I choose among the requests, I write, I ship. It is not a draw and there is no ranking. It is a gesture.

Shipping in Italy, as a rule within a week. If it is yours, I will ask for a delivery address. Nothing else.

The Amazon copy comes from the printer, with no ink from me. This is another copy: the one that passes through my hands.
