Description

At 29, Sharon Hewitt was about to see her dreams come true. For the past decade, she'd been living the academic high life in New York, Paris, and Boston but struggling to feel at ease far from her rural roots and the religious faith she'd left behind in college. Now, engaged to a Frenchman and about to settle on a beautiful farm in the rolling countryside of Brittany, she felt she'd finally come home...

...until a girl her fiancé had known in high school unexpectedly resurfaced, changing everything.

The Supreme Victory of the Heart is Sharon's candid account of the months following her French fiancé's tearful admission that he wasn't sure he could marry her after all, when she stood to lose not only the man she deeply loved, but the country she had inwardly adopted as her own. Torn between rage and sorrow, sympathy and steely resolve, Sharon found herself plumbing the depths of human love, as well as encountering the possibility of something she'd given up on long ago: a higher purpose behind it all.

About the Author

Sharon Hewitt Rawlette's first piece of published memoir was her 2011 Salon article "When my fiancé told me about the other woman." Since then, she's written extensively on the subject of coincidence and synchronicity: on her Psychology Today blog, in The Journal of Scientific Exploration, and in her 2019 book The Source and Significance of Coincidences. With The Supreme Victory of the Heart, she returns to her first love-memoir-and shares her debut encounters with the phenomenon of meaningful coincidence.
