When a grieving woman unexpectedly steps into a different version of her life, she must choose between the love of her life and the daughter she lost in this brave, inspiring novel.
Three lives. Two outcomes. One impossible choice.
Leona hopes dinner with her husband, David, will mean enjoying a rare upscale meal and help them learn how to live again after tragedy. But when she crosses the threshold of the ridiculously romantic restaurant, she quickly realizes she doesn't belong. It's not only her thrifted dress or the menu printed in Italian, it's all the clues pointing to the fact she's in a different version of her life-the one where she and David chose to live by his family's rules rather than setting out on their own and all the expectations that came with it. Instead of struggling to pay rent, she lives in a lavish home with working faucets. She's no longer teaching English to high schoolers, but attending brunch with a bunch of high society busybodies (a.k.a. her mother-in-law).
Leona would put more effort into figuring out how to get home, but there's one thing stealing all her attention- a precious little girl with her green eyes and David's curly hair. In this trajectory, her daughter Vera lived. Now, Leona must weigh the bitter and sweet of each world, choosing between the chance to be with Vera under the impossible expectations of David's family and a distant husband, or the life filled with grief, but with the man she truly loves.
