About the book:
Every life follows a path. Elsie has just found the map to hers.
Elsie Campbell’s life has stalled. Since her mother’s death five years ago, she’s lived in her sister’s basement in the same small town where she was born. She has no real friends, no romance, and spends her days crunching data for her dad’s mapping firm. And now, as her sister marries, she’s about to lose her home.
The day after a solar eclipse, Elsie hikes to the lookout where her mother died. There she finds an atlas filled with maps and astrological charts that have the power to send her to twelve turning points in her life. In visiting the past, she makes surprising discoveries about herself. But Elsie can also visit the future—which leads to unexpected consequences.
When the atlas leads her both back to her old boyfriend and towards a new love, Elsie finds herself at a crossroads where she must choose between a familiar and nostalgic road or an uncharted path. Can she really change the course of her life? And should she?
