Sometimes the life you're looking for is already looking for you-when you stop pretending you're fine.

Anelie is 54 and done-done with emotionally unavailable men, done calling what isn't there potential ... except for the part where she keeps almost texting him back. She used to be a writer-until he put it in air quotes.

So, she boards a train to Mystic, Connecticut to get some distance from maybe this time will be different.

But Mystic has plans of its own.

A town that feels alive, arranging coincidences a little too perfectly-fog rolling in when she feels lost, a stranger saying exactly what she didn't know she needed to hear.

A barista who believes even burnt toast is a sign that life is trying to get your attention.

A sommelier who expects nothing from her and talks about wine as if it has a soul-pairing bottles with movies and insights that somehow begin to make sense of her life. A resilient Champagne becomes a story about struggle creating depth. An aged vintage becomes a lesson in patience and transformation.

And a coffee shop owner who hands her something she didn't know she needed: permission to trust herself again.

As Anelie starts to write again-not for publication, but for understanding-a book she never intended begins to take shape.

And slowly, a life she never planned begins to feel like home.

I Thought It Was a Sign is a warm, witty story about what happens when you stop chasing love and start listening to the life that's been trying to reach you all along.

Perfect for readers who love:
