In this novel by a bestselling author of women's fiction, a Manhattan woman in a cold, repressive marriage reassesses her priorities after she survives a Maine boating accident that kills nine others. Having been saved from death, Julia is now hungry for life and purpose. She expresses part of that desire through her growing connection to Noah, the lonely lobsterman and fellow passenger who rescued her, and also forges a relationship with the third survivor, a young woman who was rendered mute by the trauma.
