She Wouldn't Change a Thing
Book Feature - She Wouldn't Change a Thing by Sarah Adlakha
HBL Note: What would you do with a second chance? That is the question debut novelist Sarah Adlakha explores in SHE WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING. Drawing on her own experience as a practicing psychiatrist, this novel is about Maria Forssman, a successful psychiatrist whose life is upended when a new patient walks into her offices and talks about being sent back with a purpose. I’ve already mentioned that this is Sarah’s debut novel (my very favorite type of author to feature on here) but she is also a Chicago native (my second-favorite type of author! I love a local connection.) Scroll down to read more about SHE WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING by Sarah Adlakha.
From the publisher:
When thirty-nine year old Maria Forssmann wakes up in her seventeen-year-old body, she doesn’t know how she got there. All she does know is she has to get back: to her home in Bienville, Mississippi, to her job as a successful psychiatrist and, most importantly, to her husband, daughters, and unborn son.
But she also knows that, in only a few weeks, a devastating tragedy will strike her husband, a tragedy that will lead to their meeting each other.
Can she change time and still keep what it’s given her?
Exploring the responsibilities love lays on us, the complicated burdens of motherhood, and the rippling impact of our choices, She Wouldn't Change a Thing is a dazzling debut from a bright new voice.
