Fiction
From New York Times bestselling author Kaui Hart Hemmings comes the highly anticipated follow-up to The Descendants. IN THE IDYLLIC SKI TOWN of Breckenridge, Colorado, Sarah St. John is reeling. Three months ago, her twenty-two-year-old son, Cully, died in an avalanche. Though single, Sarah is hardly alone in her grief. Her father, a retiree, tries to distract her with gadgets from the QVC home shopping channel. Sarahβs best friend offers life advice by venting details of her own messy divorce. Even Cullyβs father reemerges, stirring more emotions and confusion than Sarah needs. Still, Sarah feels she is facing the stages of griefβthe anger, the sadness, the letting goβalone. Barely ready to face the fact she will never again hear the swoosh of her sonβs ski pants, or watch him skateboard past her window, Sarah is surprised when a strange girl arrives on her doorstep. Unexpected and unexplained, she bears a secret from Cully that could change all of their lives forever. Kaui Hart Hemmings highlights the subtle poignancies of grief and relationships in this stunning look at people faced with impossible choices in the wake of a tragedy. With the unsentimental and refreshingly wry style famous for presenting trouble in paradise in The Descendants, Hemmings in The Possibilities considers the difficult questions of what we risk to keep our loved ones close.
