After a quiet divorce and an even quieter unraveling, Claire Jennings finds herself standing in the middle of her life unsure how to begin again. With her old routines stripped away and no roadmap for what comes next, she accepts an unexpected invitation to a women's retreat on the coast of Maine; a place with no clocks, no phones, and no expectations.

There, surrounded by a circle of strangers who become something more, Claire begins to rediscover the shape of her own voice. What starts as a reluctant escape becomes a season of deep unlearning, quiet courage, and the slow, radical act of coming home to herself.

Told with warmth, wit, and exquisite attention to the small, sacred details of everyday life, this is a story about rebuilding; not through romance or reinvention, but through stillness, friendship, and the fierce beauty of showing up as you are. For anyone who has ever wondered who they are outside the roles they've been handed, this tender, hopeful novel offers a gentle reminder: healing doesn't ask you to become someone new; it asks you to remember who you've been all along.
