About the Book
For twenty-five years, Olivia Bennett has been the person everyone leans on. Head nurse at Mercy General. The one who runs the floor, holds the family's hand, stays past the end of her shift. She married at twenty-two, raised two children mostly alone, and somewhere along the way forgot to ask what she wanted. Then she spends twelve days in Tuscany, comes home with a sourdough starter named Beatrice and a question she can't put down, and decides she is not going back to being who she was.
Mark Sullivan arrives the same month. He is the man the network sends to small hospitals to run the numbers and write the report that decides whether they live. He is good at it. He has gotten very good at not thinking about the parking lots after.
They should be on opposite sides of the building. Instead, over one long spring, a charge nurse who has given everything and a widower who has felt nothing learn that the other one sees them. When a patient's death forces a reckoning neither can look away from, Olivia and Mark each have to decide what a life of their own is actually worth.
Some second chances arrive right on time.
