How far would you go to protect a child... or save the sister who once betrayed you?

In Nazi-occupied Budapest, two estranged sisters are thrust into a world on the brink. Natalie, a celebrated children's author, is calm, rational, and determined to survive. Anna, a once-brilliant poet, is unraveling under the weight of grief and loss. When a little girl is left in their care during the chaos of war, the sisters must confront their past-and make an unthinkable choice.

As bombs fall and persecution tightens, Natalie begins to write magical tales for the child-stories inspired by a mysterious woman known only as Mrs. Tuesday. But reality grows ever more dangerous, and Anna's mental state becomes a risk they can no longer ignore. Natalie must decide: escape while she still can, or stay behind to protect the sister who may destroy them both.

Spanning decades and continents, Mrs. Tuesday's Departure is a deeply moving novel about the ties that bind us, the secrets that haunt us, and the courage it takes to choose love, again and again-even in the face of unspeakable loss.

"A haunting yet hopeful story. Anderson writes with such empathy, bringing wartime Budapest vividly to life while exploring the inner battles of the heart." - Readers' Favorite
