Life We Chose

Author Jack Hawthorne has been married to his high school sweetheart, Claire, for more than twenty years. Together they've built a quiet, beautiful life in their hometown of Dublin, Georgia, where Claire owns the local bookstore and everyone knows everyone.

It's the kind of love story people envy.

Until Claire asks for a divorce.

Heartbroken and desperate to save the only life he's ever wanted, Jack turns to a mysterious notebook that has allowed him to travel across the multiverse since he was a teenager. Convinced that somewhere among countless alternate realities lies the answer, he sets out to find every version of the woman he's loved his entire life.

With every life he visits, Jack uncovers another piece of the mystery-and other truths about the choices, sacrifices, and quiet moments that define a lifetime together.

But as the line between searching for his wife and searching for himself begins to blur, Jack must confront the hardest question of all:

Can love be saved... or can it only be chosen?

The Life We Chose is a heartfelt blend of contemporary romance and speculative fiction about first love, lifelong marriage, and the extraordinary lengths we'll go to for the people we can't imagine living without.
