Close Again

By Ella Frances Sanders

New York Times bestselling author Ella Frances Sanders presents the book we all need in times of being separated to remind ourselves of the things we miss and will enjoy again, such as standing next to people in a coffee shop, at the movie theater, or in the bookstore ...

Written during the Covid-19 pandemic, this book is a meaningful and personal illustrated collection of place, chance, and love. Moments, interactions, experiences, collisions, events, places, serendipities--the things that we all, as a collective and in-waiting humanity, long to fold back into when they are taken from us. The carefree, now-historical moments of before that we dream about: the crossing of paths, the potential which was held within each day, the beautiful accidents of being alive that are not always able to happen in the same ways.

Ella's book allows the reader space to consider their own missing, the chances left untaken and the stones left unturned. In a soft and beautiful way, it reminds us that the small things we as individuals choose to ascribe value to are valuable, that the meaning that makes up our days and weeks and months, if taken away, can leave us feeling directionless and full of emotional aches. Yet, within the space of the book there is hope, reflection, and the assurance that we will all be close again.
