About The Book

About ‘Goodnight, Whoever You Are’

Photographer Liz Greene thought her life was picture-perfect. She’d married her childhood best friend and they had a beautiful little boy. But something was wrong. Had Liz lost her focus? Her husband, Marty, felt different on the inside from how he looked on the outside. In a flash, the marriage was over.

Whether your spouse cheats, dies, lies, wants a change, something different, or simply leaves, it’s out of your control. Liz’s divorce was the death of a dream, and a tragedy that affected everyone involved.

Liz reluctantly gets a divorce (while maintaining a lifelong friendship with Marty), and finds herself a single mom. As she enters the dating world, love comes calling twice: once with a darkly handsome ER physician, and again with his antithesis, the Cowboy Preacher.

Saddled with a mother whose Alzheimer’s confines her to a wheelchair and a father whose Parkinson’s disease makes him a shaky chauffeur, Liz must make decisions she never thought she’d have to face.

Full of surprises, colorful friends, offbeat relatives, and aging parents, Goodnight, Whoever You Are is a story about dealing with life’s unexpected twists and turns with a huge dose of humor and an acceptance of life’s responsibilities with grace and gratitude.

From The Desk of Victoria Cooke

Thank you for taking the time to look through my website.  I wrote the first draft of “Goodnight Whoever You Are” when I was tucking my mother in for the night. They lived with me.  She had Alzheimer’s disease. I told her “goodnight” and she said, “Oh, goodnight…” I thought to myself, “whoever you are” because she didn’t know who I was. That was eighteen years ago.

I wrote this book to keep myself sane. I laughed and cried while writing it. I hope you do the same.

Book Reviews

Here is what our readers are saying about Goodnight, Whoever You Are

Vikki Hendrix Reader

Wonderful, funny, a story about unconditional family. LOVE

Michelle Williamson Reader

Life is complicated, Cooke peels back the layers in such a way that is compassionate and thoughtful to reveal the gems.

Stacy J Reader

I inhaled this book! I laughed, I cried, I anticipated (and was surprised). At the end of the day, Cooke leaves you with the warm feeling you get after spending time laughing and having a great day with old friends.

Pam Dalton Reader

Victoria Cooke always manages to weave emotions throughout the characters that help you immerse yourself in the story. Hard to put down!

Christel Workman Reader

Victoria Cooke takes you through an epic journey of a family’s becoming… As they find themselves in unexpected spaces, their acceptance and love of each other eventually prevails.

She has managed to write a faith based story including human stories with real consequences most faith based publishers would rather not touch. I found it funny, contemporary and very authentic.
