Synopsis

From the author of Hold My Girl and We Rip the World Apart, a heartfelt and life-affirming book about the power of enduring love—in all its forms

Twelve years after her marriage ended, Rachel Campbell has learned how to live with absence. Her life is carefully balanced, her past contained.

Then her ex-husband, Ethan, reaches out.

What begins as a tentative meeting unsettles everything Rachel believed was finished: old love, old wounds and a grief she’s never fully overcome. When Ethan makes a request of Rachel that threatens the life she’s worked so hard to build, she must decide whether love can survive betrayal, and whether she can live with a choice that will alter not only her life, but the life of the person Ethan loves most.

A powerful and deeply moving novel that explores whether some second chances arrive not to restore what was lost, but to transform it entirely.
