About the Book…
The story about a marriage in crisis that you will not be able to put down.
Winter, upstate New York. Outside the Half Moon bar, a blizzard is raging. Inside, bartender Malcolm and his wife Jess are coming face to face for the first time in four months.
Malcolm never understood why Jess packed up and left him suddenly, without explanation. Meanwhile, Jess always loved Malcolm, but when forced to choose between her husband’s dreams and her desire to have a family, she found herself slipping away.
Now, trapped in the empty bar as the snow piles up outside, they must confront the secrets and small betrayals that brought their marriage to this point.
