But just as they begin to tentatively explore the other options, it's Kate's turn to do the rescuing.

The next, a patch of black ice causes a devastating accident that will change her life in ways she never could have imagined.Tegan is consumed by grief–not to mention her anger toward Gabe, who was driving on the night of the crash. But just when she thinks she's hit rock bottom, Gabe reminds her of their Jar of Spontaneity, a collection of their dream destinations and experiences, and so begins an adventure of a lifetime.From the bustling markets of Thailand to the flavors of Italy to the ocean waves in Hawaii, Tegan and Gabe embark on a journey to escape the tragedy and search for forgiveness. But they soon learn that grief follows you no matter how far away you run, and that acceptance comes when you least expect it. Heartbreaking, hopeful and utterly transporting, Come Away with Me is an unforgettable debut and a luminous celebration of the strength of the human spirit.

Rasked valikud
Unustamatu lugu sõprusest, lapsevanemaks olemisest ja keerulistest inimsuhetest. Hannah ja Kate on parimad sõbrannad juba viiendast klassist saadik, kui Hannah lõi poissi, kes peegliga Kate’i seeliku alla vaatas. Kuigi nad on sestsaadik olnud lähedased nagu õed, on Hannah Kate’i ja tema abikaasa Davidi kahe täiusliku tütrega perekonna peale natuke kade. Hannah ja Ben on aastaid üritanud last saada, nii et kui nad kuulevad, et Hannah tõenäoliselt mitte kunagi rasedaks ei jää, on viimane muserdatud. Kui paar hakkab ettevaatlikult teisi võimalusi uurima, tõttab appi Kate. Ta pakub end Hannah’le asendusemaks ja on valmis kasutama selleks ka oma munarakke. Mõlemad perekonnad asuvad lootusrikkalt, äreva ja tänulikuna uskumatule teekonnale lapsevanemaks saamise poole… kuni kohutav tragöödia seab ohtu kõik, mille nimel need kaks naist on pingutanud. Liigutav ja värskendavalt aus romaan on võimas lugu erakordsest sõprusest ja riskidest, mida me võtame, et oma unistusi täide viia.
