Then, Again
A woman in the most challenging moment of her life faces impossible decisions in a poignant and deeply moving novel about love and loss, letting go, and moving on.
Asha's husband, Charlie, isn't dead, but he's been gone just the same since the day his aneurysm trapped him in a coma. Everything that made him Charlie left this world a year ago for a limbo that has trapped Asha, too. She doesn't want to stay in this situation, but she can't bear to kiss the love of her life goodbye.
Luckily, she's not alone. Asha has the support of her best friend, her father, and then, unexpectedly, Jason. Asha and Jason shared a tumultuous romance from junior high through her early college years, and he's her first love. Now divorced, Jason wants to reconnect. For Asha, it feels weird. It feels wrong. But for now, it also feels kind of wonderful.
Exploring love--and its infinite variations--Then, Again, told through Asha's eyes in the 1990s, 2000s, and today, deftly captures the choices made in the face of monumental loss and the power in memories of better things to carry us through impossible times.
