About The Book
The Shape Of Leaving
Some heartbreak doesn’t arrive in a single moment, it settles quietly into the spaces between ordinary days. The Shape of Leaving follows Luciana as the life she believed was secure begins to fracture beneath the weight of betrayal, unanswered questions, and years of emotional distance.
As long-buried dreams, forgotten passions, and difficult truths resurface, she is forced to confront not only the future of her marriage but the woman she has slowly stopped recognizing. Tender, honest, and profoundly moving, this novel explores the painful cost of losing yourself and the extraordinary courage it takes to find your way back.
