Synopsis: Artist Kate Abernethy is trying to put her life back together after the death of her boyfriend. At first, moving back in with her mother seems like a good way to sort out her finances and re-evaluate her life—instead it proves to be a minefield of doubt and recrimination. Floundering, she pushes herself to take new opportunities so she can rebuild her life and have a second chance at happiness.

    One Big Beautiful Thing sounds like a hopeful and inspiring read! I like how the first sentence instantly let the reader know that the character is experiencing a great change. I hope you enjoy it.
    Happy Reading,
