She thought she knew what she wanted. Then life changed the plan.
Nora Hart has spent fifteen years being someone else's wife, someone else's supporter, someone else's shadow. Now, at forty-two, divorced and unmoored, she doesn't know who she is anymore.
Her mother's cancer diagnosis brings her back to Portland-the city of her childhood, the garden she left behind, the porch swing where she used to dream. But just as Nora begins to imagine a new life in Oregon, an unexpected job offer pulls her back to Chicago. Back to the lake where her marriage began. Back to the cemetery where her daughter is buried.
Between editing a grieving writer's raw memoir and navigating her mother's recovery, Nora must finally face the bin she sealed eleven years ago-the one containing her daughter's hospital bracelet, tiny knit hat, and a photograph she hasn't looked at since the day it was taken.
Then there's Sam. A writer who understands loss because he's lived it. A man who looks at Nora and sees someone worth staying for.
Unexpected Seasons in Nora's Life is a literary novel about second chances-not the kind that erase the past, but the kind that make room for it. For readers who loved Tiny Beautiful Things and H Is for Hawk, this is a story about learning to feel again.
