Jo Archer, a once-successful novelist, watches her career collapse when her publisher drops her. Just as she's questioning her purpose, Jo receives devastating news: Maeve, her estranged best friend from childhood, has passed away.
Reluctantly returning to her hometown, Arlington, WA, Jo's forced to confront the sacrifices she's made to pursue her dream of becoming a published author. The weight of her past grows heavier when she learns Maeve's final request: Jo must write Maeve's memoir-a raw, personal account intended to prove the truth about the one night that no one wants to relive.
Once inseparable, Jo and Maeve had been torn apart by betrayal and unspoken pain; now, Jo must navigate the broken pieces of their friendship, Maeve's scattered journals, and the unresolved tensions with Maeve's brother, Alex, who resents Jo for abandoning those she loved.
In completing the memoir, Jo begins to understand the price of her own ambitions and the relationships she left behind. Grappling with guilt, grief, and her creative insecurities, Jo must find the strength to give voice for someone who can no longer speak for themselves, while confronting the pain of both her's and Maeve's pasts.
What's Left Unwritten is a poignant exploration of friendship, loss, and forgiveness, learning that it's not the past that shapes us, but how we choose to move forward.
