Publisher's Synopsis
Thirty-one-year-old Zoe Hartman regrets ever leaving her family and her beloved Alaska to start a new life thousands of miles away. She has a beautiful house, a handsome fiancé, and a job she loves. No one would guess that she's miserable!
After going home to Anchorage for her best friend's wedding right before Christmas, Zoe finally confronts her painful past. For the next several weeks she will struggle to find the courage to show up in her own life, instead of standing on the sidelines - no matter what happens next.
Only Now is the poignant, first-hand account of a young woman's search for an authentic life, one that truly brings her joy. It explores the healing power of grief, the complex relationship between a mother and daughter, and the freedom that comes from trusting one's own heart. Zoe's emotional journey of acceptance, forgiveness, and hope is a reminder for all of us that every moment holds the opportunity to be present in and grateful for our own lives.
