Jude Deveraux’s New York Times bestseller is a touching exploration of the longings deep within every woman’s heart, featuring three friends who get a chance to discover what might have been. As they approach their fortieth birthdays, Leslie Headrick, Madison Appleby, and Ellie Abbott gather at a summerhouse in Maine to reflect on their lives and choices. Unexpectedly, they receive a gift that allows them to turn their “what-might-have-beens” into reality. Leslie, a suburban wife and mother, wonders about the career of a boy who pursued her in college and what her life could have been had she chosen differently. Madison, who sacrificed a modeling career to support her high school boyfriend after an accident, contemplates what would have happened if she had rejected his call. Ellie, a successful novelist, faces the aftermath of a bitter divorce that shattered her self-belief and questions why the justice system failed her. Now, a mysterious figure named “Madame Zoya” offers each woman the chance to relive any three weeks from their past. They must decide if the road not taken is a better path and ultimately choose the life that will fulfill their deepest longings.
