Overview

January 1979. Two young sailors watch in horror as a woman falls from the roof of the Bank of San Diego. Her name was never known. Her story was never told. Thirty years later, Diane Sterling stands on that same rooftop, ready to make the same choice. But the elevator that should take her down takes her back-to 1979, to age eight, to a chance to change everything. She tries to save her father from gambling. Her friend from abuse. Herself from addiction. But every intervention moves pain instead of healing it. Every ""right"" choice costs something she never saw coming. And when Diane finally prevents her family's destruction, she discovers she's erased the person she loved most from existence. Some transformations require dissolution. Some journeys must be completed, not abandoned. And some choices can only be made by learning that you can't save people-you can only show up for them, broken and imperfect, and hope that presence is enough. A story about addiction, intervention, and the terrible cost of trying to fix what can only be accepted. About honoring the pain that makes us who we are. About two women on the same ledge, thirty years apart, making different choices-both valid, both honored, both enough. Told with honesty and grace, this powerful yet clean novel proves that a story can be raw, redemptive, and utterly human-without a single profane or graphic word.
