Official synopsis Publisher
To Elizabeth Hackett, every person is a character, every place is a setting, and every moment is a scene waiting to be written. But when a simple accident leads to debilitating writers block and lands her in psychiatric counseling, she is forced to surrender her isolation and reenter the unpredictable, uncontrollable world that resides outside the novels she pens. With the often-unwitting help of her enigmatic counselor, Elizabeth tiptoes into a new relationship and, for the first time in years, finds herself revisiting the events that led to her own broken engagement. She begins to examine previously unchallenged plotlines in her past and uncovers holes and truths that make returning to her life of omnipotent authorship impossible. To move forward, Elizabeth must learn how to exist in a world of tangled relationships, abused friendships, and imperfect faith.
