Description
Dr. Laurel Adler has spent her life mastering the complexities of the human brain, but navigating the tangled mess of her own heart is a different story. Stepping out of a failing marriage, she hatches a calculated plan for closure: stun her ex-husband with a definitive exit, clad in a dress that demands notice and fuels his deepest regrets. She has the performance perfectly choreographed, but fate has a way of sabotaging even the most precise surgical plans.
When a stray dog crosses her path, it leads Laurel straight to a charming veterinarian whose presence is as disarming as it is unexpected. Suddenly, the surgeon who prides herself on being in control finds her clinical composure slipping. As she spends time with a woman who sees through her professional armor, Laurel begins to realize that her quest for vengeance was merely a distraction from her own hidden desires.
In this intimate and evocative tale, Rachel Lacey explores the delicate intersection of letting go and beginning again. It is a story about shedding the lives we thought we wanted to make space for the truth—and discovering that sometimes, the most important connections happen when we stop trying to script our own perfection.
