<DIV><DIV><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Presenting a powerful story of motherhood and loss, this novel explores the complexities of grief and disconnection?and what it takes to become connected again. Gaelle, a 30-year-old beauty editor for a fashion magazine, she is ambivalent about motherhood, and she sleeps around?not because she does not love her heart-surgeon husband Jason, but because the very fact of love is a terrifying thing. She finds it easier to keep moving, in the heart and the mind, than to stay still and own who she is. A multi-layered story of marriage, this novel employs delicate yet powerful prose that builds to a moving revelation.</P></DIV></DIV>
