Long-buried questions

Dawn Edelstein is on a plane when the flight attendant announces: Prepare for a crash landing. The shocking thing is, her thoughts are not of her husband but of a man she last saw 15 years ago: Wyatt Armstrong.

Dawn survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have been suddenly raised. Back in Boston, there is her husband, Brian, their beloved daughter, and her work as a death doula, in which she helps ease the transition between life and death.

But somewhere in Egypt is Wyatt Armstrong, who works as an archaeologist, a career Dawn once studied for but was forced to abandon when life suddenly intervened. And now, when it seems that fate is offering her second chances, she is not as sure of the choice she once made.
