Seen At Last

Grace Brennan's life isn't dreadful—it's simply empty. At forty-two, she is a respected Boston therapist, a surgeon's wife, and a devoted mother to two young teenagers. She has everything she's supposed to want, yet she has never felt more invisible.

The only person who truly sees her is her lesbian friend, Allie Morgan, a longtime colleague who listens, remembers, and pays the kind of attention Grace has stopped expecting from anyone. Then Grace starts noticing things—the variety of Allie's laughs, the tendons in her wrists, a growing hunger for something Grace can't yet name. The noticing won't stop.

What begins as a quiet unraveling becomes a reckoning. To claim her future with Allie, Grace must first confront the woman she buried to keep her family whole. Can she muster the courage required to choose an authentic life?
