So Close : A Novel

There will be a moment in time when you’re forced through a door you never opened, with no chance of turning back. You’ve never experienced anything like it, can’t entirely anticipate it, much less hasten or delay its timing. It’s out of your control. The majority of people ignore this door, some do everything in their power to run from it, while others waste their entire lives fearing it. But no one will avoid it. Annie had assumed the door wasn’t ready to be opened. She had her whole life ahead of her. But while she was happily living in denial, unbeknownst to her she was surrounded by loved ones anxiously awaiting and expecting the door to open at any moment. She had been so very close. So close to joining them, so close to changing her mind, so close to putting her life on pause just long enough to remember what was important in life. But so close was now so very far away. She was sleeping when those she loved went through their open door, and by the time she awakened, the moment was over, the door had closed, and her nightmare had begun. So Close is the haunting, frightening story of Annie’s next twenty-four hours. Will her experience end up mimicking your missed chance, or will it awaken a desire within you to anticipate your open door?
