What if the life you didn't live was as real as the one you did?

Hannah is having a bad day. A bad month. A bad year? That feels terrible to admit, since her son Jack was born just eight months ago, and she loves him more than anything. But ever since his harrowing birth, she can’t shake the feeling that it could have gone the other way. That her baby might not have made it. Terrifying visions from different paths her life could have taken begin to disrupt her cozy, claustrophobic days with Jack, destabilizing her marriage, and making her husband concerned for her mental health. Are the strange things Hannah is seeing just new mom anxiety, or is something truly weird and sinister afoot? What if Hannah really did unlock a dark force during childbirth? 

When Hannah’s worst nightmare comes true and Jack disappears from his crib, she must tap into an extraordinary ability she never knew she had in order to save him: she must grapple with different versions of her life while holding onto what is most important to her in this one to bring her child back home. 

From the intimate joys of parenthood to the cosmic awe of the multiverse, The Possibilities is an ingenious and wildly suspenseful novel that stares down into the dizzying depths of maternal love, vulnerability, and strength.

Story Locale:Berkeley, CA and the multiverseMore early praise for The Possibilities:
The Possibilities hooked me immediately with its ingenious premise and a story so suspenseful I had no choice but to ignore everything to read to its stunning conclusion. Yael Golstein-Love is an enormous talent." Edan Lepucki
 
PREVIOUS TITLES: Yael published her first novel, The Passion of Tasha Darsky (originally published as Overture), a well-received literary debut, with Doubleday in 2008, but found herself drawn in other creative directions in the years since. She intends to continue to work in this provocative-thriller-with-a-speculative-twist vein moving forward, feeding a hunger for more women-centric stories in this space.
