How do you hold a family together when the fault lines of life threaten to tear it apart?
When Mark and Hannah brought their families together, they knew blending their lives wouldn't be simple. Spanning decades of love, marriage, and raising their diverse children-Isla, Sarah, Marcus, and Rich-their journey is a mosaic of profound joys and heartbreaking trials. From the vibrant, bohemian streets of 1960s San Francisco to the quiet, bittersweet realities of aging, their family has weathered it all.
Now, as Mark approaches his 70th birthday, the foundation they've built is facing its greatest tremor yet. Hannah has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and the brilliant, vibrant woman who bound them all together is slowly slipping away. As her memories fade, the family is forced to confront their own fractures-unresolved tensions, the haunting shadow of addiction, the pain of past divorces, and the ultimate challenge of letting go.
Told through deeply intimate, multiple perspectives, Fault Lines: The Geography of Love is a sweeping and emotional domestic drama that explores the intricate resilience of a blended family. It is a powerful testament to the enduring nature of love, the agony of loss, and the beauty of the imperfect ties that hold us together when the ground beneath us shakes.
Perfect for fans of poignant multigenerational sagas, emotionally rich women's fiction, and deeply moving stories of family healing.
