New York Times Bestselling Author What comes after the moment that changes your life forever? That question haunts July Bechtel, Noah Prince, and Kim Colella, the only survivors of a horrific boating accident off the coast of Maine. Julia, a forty-year-old wife and mother, has always done exactly what others expect of her. In the aftermath of her brush with death she realizes that there is more to her - and to the world - than she ever imagined. Feeling strangely connected to Noah and Kim, Julia begins to explore the unique possibilities offered by the quiet island of Big Sawyer. With each passing moment, each new discovery, she grows ever more sure that - after coming face-to-face with death - she must have more from life.
