Poignant, heart-stopping, and resonant, Waiting for a Star to Fall is a story about love, the things we choose to believe, and how sometimes the path to happily ever after has to start with ourselves.

“Brooke had never been sorry for her abortion. She’d been sorry she ever became pregnant in the first place, of course, for the way it disrupted everything… What if this is me now? she thought as she dragged her body through the hours when she really knew what was happening but still didn’t want to admit it to herself. Tracing the downward spiral—is this how a person loses control of her narrative? Would it be possible to just go to sleep and wake up in a thousand years? She couldn’t envision any other possibility, but thankfully there was one, this procedure that would render her no longer pregnant, her life back on track. Unfathomable mercy, abortion.”
