The Course Back to Us

By Elise Verran

Twenty-six years of marriage. Ten days on the lake. One last chance to tell the truth.

Nora and Daniel Calder know how to run a household, raise two children, and handle a sailboat in bad weather. What they no longer know is how to reach each other.

With their divorce almost final, they agree to make one last trip together: deliver the boat that once held all their postponed dreams to its new owner on Mackinac Island. It should be a clean ending. But cramped quarters, old habits, and the futures they have been planning separately strip away the civility that made their breakup look so easy.

As familiar competence becomes renewed desire, Nora and Daniel must decide whether they are only grieving the life they built-or whether the marriage they are ending can become something neither of them has lived before.

The Course Back to Us is a mature, emotionally rich contemporary romance about marriage in trouble, second chances, and choosing the same person again for better reasons.
