Before Closure - Paperback

by Shadley Grei (Author)

Seven months ago, Carol Parker left a note on the kitchen counter and walked out on her life, leaving behind a husband of nearly forty years and two adult children to navigate the silence she left behind.

In three days, Clayton is convinced his wife will return. It will be their fortieth wedding anniversary, and he believes she'll come back to celebrate and rebuild what's been broken.

Frankie and Jules aren't so sure. Frankie has gone numb in the wake of his own relationship's collapse, and Jules is barely holding a fragile marriage together. As one Iowa summer weekend unfolds, each of them must face an invitation to rethink the future they were expecting.

Told with sharp insight and quiet compassion, Before Closure is a tender portrait of love stretched thin, the burden of unspoken truths, and the messy grace of daring to live.
