Description
After a devastating storm, Cora travels to register her newborn son’s birth, carrying the weight of her husband’s expectations and a family naming tradition she is no longer sure she can accept. A single decision sets three possible versions of her family’s next thirty-five years into motion, revealing how one moment can shape identity, relationships, and destiny. Exploring domestic abuse, family loyalty, autonomy, and the long road toward healing, this richly imagined novel is a moving meditation on the lives we lead—and the lives we might have chosen. Ultimately, it is a hopeful story about resilience, love, and the enduring possibility of beginning again.
