An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.
From USA Today bestselling author Julianne MacLean comes a suspenseful, emotionally charged novel that explores the secrets and hidden truths within a seemingly perfect marriage.
Abbie MacIntyre is living the dream in the picturesque Nova Scotia town she calls home. She is a successful surgeon, is married to a handsome cardiologist, and has a … married to a handsome cardiologist, and has a model teenage son who is only months away from going off to college.
But then one fateful night, everything changes. When a drunk driver hits her car, Abbie is rushed to the hospital. She survives, but the accident forces unimaginable secrets out into the open and plagues Abbie with nightmares so vivid that she starts to question her grip on reality. Her perfect life begins to crack, and those cracks threaten to shatter her world completely.
The search for answers will test her strength in every way—as a wife, a career woman, and a mother—but it may also open the door for Abbie to move forward, beyond anger and heartbreak, to find out what she is truly made of. In learning to heal and trust again, she may just find new hope in the spaces left behind.

wonderful book – lots of surprises
The best book I have ever read! I could hardly put it down!!! An amazing author!!!!
Too predictable
A Curve in the Road by Julianne Maclean does not fail to please. Maclean is a master plotter. In this tome Abbie finds herself on her drive home from the next town after having dinner with her mother. Often her husband and he son accompany her but this time it is just she and their dog, Winston. Out of nowhere another car crosses the centerline. Although Abbie tries to dodge the oncoming onslaught, she fails. Before long Troy, a young firefighter and his crew, have arrived and are cutting her out of her car. Winston is nowhere to be found. At the hospital, it is quickly determined that Abbie’s injuries are serious, but not life threatening. What comes next is the shocker.
Maclean is a master plotter. The story takes one turn after another: tragedy upon tragedy, but Abbie still has her mother and her son to deal with, and her marriage. Maclean never fails to please; even when hitting rock bottom her heroes manage to claw their way back to the top of the heap and live again. Such is the case in A Curve on the Road. Despite the fact that Abbie, a surgeon, may never operate again, she finds a path forward. The story makes your own problems miniscule but shows a way out for both Abbie and the reader.
I totally recommend this book. I have never read one of Julianne’s books that fails to deliver and this is certainly no exception. Give it a try. You won’t regret it!
I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
