Furthest Reaches of Orbit

University is supposed to be her fresh start, a place to discover who she is beyond the expectations of her family. She throws herself into self-discovery, friendships, academics, volunteer work, and the simple hope of becoming someone who leaves the world better than she found it.

But life refuses to unfold as neatly as planned.

When a devastating loss forces Noelle to confront questions she has spent her life avoiding, the people around her begin to reveal unexpected sides of themselves. An old relationship leaves her questioning her own judgment. A quiet acquaintance keeps appearing at the edges of her life with an attentiveness she cannot quite explain. And beneath every coincidence lies the growing suspicion that invisible threads have been pulling at her future all along.

Told with warmth, wit and quiet introspection, The Furthest Reaches of Orbit is the first novel in a sweeping contemporary saga about love, family legacy, hidden loyalties, and finding the courage to choose your own path even when others have already chosen one for you.
