The Lives You Didn't Live explores the delicate, haunting beauty of choice and consequence through ten parallel versions of one woman's life. Each chapter reveals an alternate Elise—wife, editor, mother, oracle, wanderer, rebel, star—each shaped by a single decision, a different path taken or left behind. Together, they form a mosaic of what it means to live the right life—a life marked by hope, loss, love, and the persistent search for meaning.

In this intimate multiverse drama, the boundaries between regret and acceptance blur, inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys and the countless possibilities just beyond reach. Written with lyrical precision and emotional depth, The Lives You Didn't Live is a meditation on identity, choice, and the lives we carry within us.
