Erin is a homemaker who hasn’t read a book in a long time. But that changes when Wendell—now a published author—returns after twelve years. But when Erin begins to read his novel—about a professor and his amanuensis—she sees shadows of herself on the page. The more she reads, the more the boundaries between fact and fiction blur. Conversations restart, old wounds reopen and the past reshapes the present in quiet, irreversible ways.
