From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a bittersweet novel about healing old wounds and finding a new place to call home...Roseanna Chaldecott spent her life as a high-powered lawyer in Manhattan. But when her best friend and law partner dies suddenly, something snaps. Unsure of her future, Roseanna heads upstate on one tank of gas and with no plans to return.In the foothills of the Adirondacks, Roseanna discovers the perfect hideout in a ramshackle farm. Its seventy-six acres are rich with possibilities and full of surprises, including a mother and daughter squatting on the property. Although company is the last thing Roseanna wants, she reluctantly lets them stay.Roseanna and the young girl begin sculpting junk found around the farm into zoo animals, drawing more newcomers--including her estranged son, Lance. He pleads with Roseanna to return to the city, but she's finally discovered where she belongs. It may not provide the solitude she originally sought, but her heart has found room for much more.

Heaven Adjacent has a cast of quirky characters that keep the story interesting, entertaining, & endearing. It is a lovely exploration of relationships, priorities, emotional openness, & what it means to be a family. It is a look at values and how we must determine what matters most & how we want to spend our days. It is a study in second chances, reconciliation, living a life that has meaning & finding home. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Heaven.... Something that will do for heaven until the real thing comes along. I still want to keep both feet in this world. I‘m not ready to move on just yet. But I want to get as close to paradise as I can get while I‘m still here on the planet.... I think heaven is more like … like just what you need to live a decent life. ... I want to be there by myself. I want to be in the world by myself. In silence. And peace. Now that would be heavenly.”

I absolutely loved this book! I love the storyline, the idea behind it, the characters, the tone... I just love all of it! I am confident that this is going to be a bestseller and a movie someday just like Pay it Forward. Catherine Ryan Hyde is such a talented author who develops these amazing ideas and carries them out through her characters in such a talented way, and she shows this yet again in Heaven Adjacent. Highly recommended, a must-read.
