What to expect

A warm and uplifting novel about a woman with trauma-induced agoraphobia who rejoins the world one step at a time.

"An optimistic, feel-good novel." —Kirkus Reviews

"A gorgeous, charming novel ... sweet, moving, funny, and hopeful." —Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne

Meredith has a full-time remote job and her rescue cat Fred. Her best friend Sadie visits with her two children. There's her online support group, her jigsaw puzzles and favorite recipes, her beloved Emily Dickinson poems. Also keeping her company are treacherous memories of an unstable childhood and a traumatic event that had sent her reeling.

But something's about to change. First, two new friends burst into her life. Then her long-estranged sister gets in touch.

Suddenly her carefully curated home is no longer a space to hide. Whether Meredith likes it or not, the world is coming to her door ...
