She came home early.
She shouldn't have.
Noa Reevse is a therapist. She spends her days sitting across from people in the worst moments of their lives, holding their pain with both hands, and sending them home better. She is very good at it. She is also, it turns out, very good at not looking too closely at her own.
Until the afternoon, she opens a door she was never supposed to open.
Fifteen seconds. That's all she records. That's all she needs.
And then, a week later, she puts on a burgundy dress, walks into her husband's televised political forum, and raises her hand.
She has the video. She never has to play it.
His silence does the work for her.
"Hurricane Season" is about what happens after the worst imaginable betrayal, after the divorce papers are filed, after the woman who taught everyone else how to survive the unsurvivable has to figure out how to do it herself.
It is also about the person who was in that room.
The one Noa didn't see coming.
For readers who need their protagonist to be the storm.
