Beth's life, like the unfinished manuscript on her laptop, is stuck.

Since her devastating breakup with Fraser she's retreated into a lonely working-from-home world of sweatpants, disordered timekeeping and comfort eating. The one luminous constant in her life is her love for her rescue dog, Tomsk, and his for her.

When her house share falls apart, she is thrown a lifeline by the least likely person: Fraser's mother Martine, who offers Beth and Tomsk a temporary space above her garage in which to start over.

But Martine's favours always come at a price: she's volunteered a reluctant Beth as a writer for a project called The Story of Your Life, run by the local retirement community. Some of the stories Beth hears are heartwarming, some are heartbreaking, and some even make her question her own past relationships.

All of them, she notes, reveal a little more than the teller realises...

When she is sent an anonymous story of first love that threatens to destroy more than one family's identity, Beth faces an impossible decision, and ultimately must choose:

Is she in charge of her own story? Or will she let someone else write her last chapter.
