The Decisions We Make

By Tara Marlow

Sam is a survivor.

But life is not as she imagined it to be. Now a widow and single mother at thirty-eight, life has become about navigating the ‘to do’ list and ignoring the resentment and guilt that eats away at her. But worrying won’t pay the bills and working in Georgina’s café in Tasmania helps to keep the ghosts away. All she has to do is take one step at a time, then her husband’s cliché mantra will come true: Things always work out in the end.

Brooke has had her life planned out since she was ten.

Everything looks great on the outside. Brooke is a successful doctor with her own practice, living in Sydney. But when tragedy strikes, Brooke learns secrets about her grandmother that prompt her to throw her predictable life out the window. But going to Tasmania means confronting the past she thought was long laid to rest.

As the childhood friends navigate their grief, questions linger. Will they find the answers? Or will the answers find them?
