When a body is presumed to be her missing husband’s, a woman must
unravel the secrets of her own past to clear her name, find the
truth, and put her conscience to rest once and for all. All Ruby
wanted was a fresh start. But after an early retirement and a
relocation to a tight-knit community with her husband, Tom, and her
daughter, Lily, her new beginning takes a turn. First her troubled
daughter and then her husband disappear without a trace. Unsure how
to cope, grief-ridden Ruby turns to her neighborhood friends to
find a way forward with new hobbies, including a murder club where
they try to solve cold cases. But just as unexpectedly as her
family vanished, a body floats to the surface of the nearby lake.
And everyone is sure the body belongs to Tom…everyone except
Ruby. Determined to find out what happened to her family once and
for all, Ruby digs into her neighbors’ lives, and her own, only
to uncover secrets that raise more questions than they answer. And
the biggest question of all—why doesn’t she recognize the body?
Can the entire course of a life be traced back to a single moment?
On a coveted two-week beach vacation, working mom Kate Baker’s
nine-year-old daughter, Olivia, vanishes suddenly among the
waves—a heart-dropping incident that threatens to uproot her
entire reality. But in the next moment, Olivia resurfaces, joyously
splashing. What would I do if she didn’t come up? Kate wonders.
How would I live without her? In another set of circumstances that
hold a different fate, Kate doesn’t have to wonder. Because in
that “other” world, in the pulse-pounding seconds after Olivia
goes under, she doesn’t come back up. Told in parallel timelines,
Kate begins to live two lives—one in which Olivia resurfaces and
one in which she doesn’t. In the reality that follows her
daughter’s death, she maneuvers through every mother’s worst
nightmare, facing grief, rage, and the question of purpose in the
aftermath of such profound loss. She endures, day by day, in a
world without her daughter. In her alternate timeline, while she
explores a tremulous romance with her best friend, Jason, she finds
herself grappling with the ex-husband who abandoned Kate and Olivia
years prior. Even as Kate scrambles to hold her daughter close,
Olivia pulls further away. The line between joy and loss seems to
get thinner with each passing day. Woven into a single story, both
Kates discover a breathtaking fragility and resilience in their
respective journeys. Bringing to light the drastic polarities dire
circumstances often create, The Other Year explores truths about
love, loss, and the sharp turns any life can take in the blink of
an eye. “In this world-altering women's fiction novel, single
mother Kate Baker looks away for a single moment, only to lose
sight of her daughter in the ocean. As a result, her world splits
into two separate realities: one where she gets to keep being
a mother and the other where she doesn't. The message is
clear: Love your people. A tear-jerker with heart.” —Brenda
