For readers who love The Café on the Edge of the World, Eat Pray Love, and The Midnight Library, a heartfelt novel about self-discovery, happiness, and the courage to change your life.

Sometimes you have to lose everything to discover what truly matters.

Marie thought she had everything. A loving partner, a stable life, a future mapped out in careful lines. But behind her smile, she feels trapped. Her demanding job drains her, and when her beloved grandfather dies unexpectedly, something inside her finally breaks.

On impulse, she walks away from the life she built.

Determined to escape the routine that has quietly suffocated her, Marie sets out to find the happiness she’s been promising herself for years. But the further she runs, the more she begins to lose her footing, and possibly the man who has loved her all along.

How far can you go in search of yourself before you lose what truly matters?

An emotional, inspiring novel about rediscovering dreams, choosing courage over comfort, and learning that happiness sometimes demands everything.
