The Seventh Ribbon
Acerca de este libro electrónico
"A wholly original tale of love, fate, and second (and third and fourth) chances that will leave your jaw on the floor. I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time.” —Colleen Oakley, USA Today bestselling author of Jane and Dan at the End of the World
Alone in her snowbound oceanfront cottage, Caroline Ora mourns the loss of her beloved husband Forest, killed earlier that year in a violent hit-and-run. Once a celebrated poet, Caroline now spends her days drowning in grief ... until an unlikely discovery changes everything.
Buried deep in her attic in a dusty wooden case, Caroline finds several ancient typewriter ribbons. Spontaneously using one to write a story —a simple “what if” wherein her anguish has loosened its grip—Caroline wakes to find it’s miraculously come true.
Moment by moment, word by word, Caroline sets about rewriting her life, resurrecting her husband through ink and memories. But as the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur, Caroline learns that every wish has its cost, and every miracle has its reckoning.
Riveting, funny and heartbreaking by turns, The Seventh Ribbon is an inventive and unforgettable love story.
