Several years ago when I first started writing The Things We Lost, I spent a lot of time wondering about my own “what if”s. I’d just moved away from the city and back to my parents. I got out of a six-year relationship that had defined by early twenties, and felt incredibly lost. I started to wonder what would have happened if I’d not made the choices I’d made all those years ago. Would I still be here? Would I be in a different job, country, or life entirely? It was easy to escape my grief and imagine I would be. This started my deep dive into the world of time travel and what ifs.
Maddie Butler has been haunted for fourteen years. After the suspicious death of a friend, Maddie tried to move on, convincing herself there was nothing she could have done. Now in an unfulfilling marriage, she realizes how much guilt has led to an unhappy life. When she runs into her ex-boyfriend, the memories come flying back.
The next morning, she wakes up twenty-six years old and in a completely different life. Her daughters don’t exist, her husband is nowhere to be found, and her friend is still alive, four years after her funeral. Maddie navigates this new world and realizes she is the product of her own unhappiness. Is this new do-over exactly what she needs, even if it means never seeing her daughters again?
Maybe in Another Life takes readers on a what if journey, showing how one simple decision can change the entire course of your life.
It is a fascinating fictional story that showcases two different timelines side by side so readers can see the slight changes one decision made. TJR is a masterful storyteller and this novel serves as a fictional case study of what if? It’s a book guaranteed to make you think about your own choices and your own what ifs?
