Is our identity shaped by the decisions we make?
Sam Taylor finds herself trapped in a life she never envisioned on the picturesque east coast of Tasmania. Her house is crumbling, bills are piling up, and there's a sense of secrecy surrounding her daughter.
On the other hand, Brooke Choi-Scott has meticulously planned her life with a flourishing medical practice, a comfortable home in a well-to-do Sydney suburb, and unwaveringly honest friendships. Yet, despite her apparent success, an emptiness lingers within her.
A tragic loss brings Brooke and Sam together, forcing them to confront their past choices. However, Sam is preoccupied with her daughter's future, leaving little room to address the lingering resentment and guilt that eat away at her. Meanwhile, Brooke stumbles upon a collection of clandestine letters, igniting an obsession that compels her to question her own life's trajectory.
Will these childhood friends find the courage to acknowledge their mistakes and recognise that sometimes the universe has its own plans in store?
Genre: General Fiction
