She stands at an open window, her hand tracing a line across the map of a world she hasn't seen. A novel about grief, reinvention, and the quiet courage it takes to choose a life you actually want.
"Will she finally acknowledge her true feelings and get the help she desperately needs, or is it too late to mend old wounds?"
Haunted by nightmares, doubts, and hints of depression and PTSD that she keeps denying, Christine decides to embark on the riskiest journey of her life so far: the one that ends with meeting her birth father.
Despite her mother's pleas to reconsider, she jumps on a plane to America, gets a room at a cheap motel and tries to work up the courage to approach the man who created her.
The man who still has no idea she exists.
Meeting him could fill the void that loss and grief have carved in her heart or make her depression spiral further, until it consumes what's left of Christine.
Maybe the veteran she just met at the motel is right.
Christine might be a fighter, but a good fighter knows when it's time to let go…
