Synopsis: New York Times bestselling
author Caroline Leavitt writes novels that expertly explore the
struggles and conflicts that people face in their search for happiness.
For the characters in With or Without You, it seems at first that
such happiness can come only at someone else’s expense. Stella is a
nurse who has long suppressed her own needs and desires to nurture the
dreams of her partner, Simon, the bass player for a rock band that has
started to lose its edge. But when Stella gets unexpectedly ill and
falls into a coma just as Simon is preparing to fly with his band to Los
Angeles for a gig that could revive his career, Simon must learn the
meaning of sacrifice, while Stella’s best friend, Libby, a doctor who
treats Stella, must also make a difficult choice as the coma wears on.
When Stella at last awakes from her two-month sleep, she emerges into a
striking new reality where Simon and Libby have formed an intense bond,
and where she discovers that she has acquired a startling artistic
talent of her own: the ability to draw portraits of people in which she
captures their innermost feelings and desires. Stella’s whole identity,
but also her role in her relationships, has been scrambled, and she has
the chance to form a new life, one she hadn’t even realized she wanted.
A story of love, loyalty, loss, and resilience, With or Without You is a page-turner that asks the question, What do we owe the other people in our lives, and when does the cost become too great? (Synopsis from Goodreads)
