Sarah Pekkanen's poignant second novel about marriage,
forgiveness, and the things that really matter, which will
have readers laughing and crying. What would you do if your husband wanted to rewrite the
rules of your relationship? Julia Dunhill, a thirty-something party planner, seems to
have it all: Married to her high school sweetheart and
living in a gorgeous home in Washington D.C., she imagines
her future unfolding very much as it has for the past few
years, since she and her husband Michael successfully
launched their companies. There will be dinner parties to
attend, operas to dress up for, and weddings and benefits to
organize for her growing list of clients. There will be
shopping sprees with her best friend, Isabelle, and
inevitably those last five pounds to shed. In her darker
moments, she worries that her marriage has dissolved from a
true partnership into a façade, but she convinces herself
it’s due to the intensity of their careers and fast-paced
lifestyle. So as she arranges the molten chocolate cupcakes for the
annual Opera benefit, how can she know that her
carefully-constructed world is about to fall apart? That her
husband will stand up from the head of the table in his
company’s boardroom, open his mouth to speak, and crash to
the carpeted floor… all in the amount of time it will take
her to walk across a ballroom floor just a few miles away.
Four minutes and eight seconds after his cardiac arrest, a
portable defibrillator jump-starts Michael’s heart. But in
those lost minutes he becomes a different man, with an
altered perspective on the rarified life they’ve been living
and a determination to regain the true intimacy they once
shared. Now it is up to Julia to decide — is it worth
upending her comfortable world to try to find her way back
to the husband she once adored, or should she walk away from
this new Michael, who truthfully became a stranger to her
long before his change of heart?
