Sometimes life's most fulfilling journeys begin without a map
An executive at a New York cosmetics firm, Sarah has had her fill of the
interminable hustle of the big city. When her husband, Josh, is offered
a new job in suburban Virginia, it feels like the perfect chance to
shift gears.
While Josh quickly adapts to their new life, Sarah discovers that having
time on her hands is a mixed blessing. Without her everyday urban
struggles, who is she? And how can she explain to Josh, who assumes they
are on the same page, her ambivalence about starting a family?
It doesn't help that the idea of getting behind the wheel--an absolute
necessity of her new life--makes it hard for Sarah to breathe. It's been
almost twenty years since she's driven, and just the thought of merging
is enough to make her teeth chatter with anxiety. When she signs up for
lessons, she begins to feel a bit more like her old self again, but
she's still unsure of where she wants to go.
Then a crisis involving her best friend lands Sarah back in New York--a
trip to the past filled with unexpected truths about herself, her dear
friend, and her seemingly perfect sister-in-law . . . and an astonishing
surprise that will help her see the way ahead.
