Poor confused, depressed, desperate Nora Seed doesn't want to live. She has broken up with a long time boyfriend, walked away from a promising career as a musician, and feels responsible for her cat's death. And that is just the beginning of her misery.
When the story begins, Nora is 19 hours away from dying. She has a plan but that plan is interrupted by a fantastical leap into an alternate universe. Here you need to suspend disbelief and just go with it.
In her new reality, Nora has multiple chances to return to those pivotal moments in her life that brought her to her current stage of misery. Given the opportunity to make different choices, she views each situation with clearer eyes, examining carefully what path her gut told her to follow as opposed to what she, in the present, real world, believes she ought to have done.
Each of the many could-have-been lives Nora confronts leads her to new conclusions, not always happy ones, yet each shapes her now life in insightful and dramatic ways. This is a story about introspection, evaluation, and searching for a place to exist in the moment. Very zen - yet very loud messages in these somewhat uncomfortable times.
We have so much think time these days - days to examine our own regrets, and let go of those thoughts that keep us awake at night.
Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay happy.
Thanks for stopping by.
