"I read The Two Lives of Lydia Bird in a single sitting. What a
beautiful, emotional gift Josie Silver has given us."--Jodi Picoult
Written with Josie Silver's trademark warmth and wit, The Two Lives of
Lydia Bird is a powerful and thrilling love story about the what-ifs
that arise at life's crossroads, and what happens when one woman is
given a miraculous chance to answer them.
Lydia and Freddie. Freddie and Lydia. They'd been together for more than
a decade and Lydia thought their love was indestructible. But she was
wrong. On Lydia's twenty-eighth birthday, Freddie died in a car
accident.
So now it's just Lydia, and all she wants is to hide indoors and sob
until her eyes fall out. But Lydia knows that Freddie would want her to
try to live fully, happily, even without him. So, enlisting the help of
his best friend, Jonah, and her sister, Elle, she takes her first
tentative steps into the world, open to life--and perhaps even
love--again.
But then something inexplicable happens that gives her another chance at
her old life with Freddie. A life where none of the tragic events of the
past few months have happened.
Lydia is pulled again and again through the doorway to her past, living
two lives, impossibly, at once. But there's an emotional toll to
returning to a world where Freddie, alive, still owns her heart. Because
there's someone in her new life, her real life, who wants her to stay.
