When a grieving woman unexpectedly steps into a different version of her life, she must choose between the husband she loves and the daughter she lost in this brave, gripping novel. "A beautiful story that will make you rethink all the moments you've wished for a different outcome."--Johanna Rojas Vann, author of An American Immigrant Two possible lives to live. One impossible choice to make. When Leona Warlon heads across the city to meet her husband, David, for a rare dinner out, she hopes they can share a moment of relief after their year of loss. But Leona quickly realizes this is no ordinary date night. She hasn't just stepped into an upscale ristorante; she's stepped into a different version of her life. One in which her marriage is no longer tender, in which her days are pressured by her powerful in-laws, and in which her precious baby girl lived. Now Leona must weigh the bitter and sweet of both trajectories, facing an unimaginable choice: Stay in a world where tragedy hasn't struck but where the meaningful life she built with David is gone? Or return to a reality that's filled with struggle and sorrow but also deep and enduring love?

A spectacular debut that makes you realize that just because things could have been different, that doesn't mean they would have been better. I read this book in one sitting. It would create some great book club discussions!
As Leona navigates her "other" life, she learns things about her family, friends, and herself. There are some heavy topics, but they are handled with great care.
Thanks to NetGalley and WaterBrook & Multnomah for the ARC!
