Sophie's spent five years making herself smaller, quieter, more convenient—waiting for her husband to finally see her as more than an afterthought. But standing in the security line with a one-way ticket to London and a phone that won't stop buzzing, she's done waiting for permission to want more. What begins as an escape becomes a journey of rediscovery as Sophie navigates a new city, unexpected friendships, and the terrifying freedom of putting herself first. When the life she left behind comes calling with promises that things will be different this time, she'll have to decide: return to the comfort of the familiar, or risk everything for the person she's becoming. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop waiting for your life to begin.
