Oh, This Becoming

When Cassie heard Wade's voice on the phone, her response was immediate. "Not now, Wade." This isn't what Cassie had imagined. Her marriage has dissolved. Her body has betrayed her. Approaching mid-life, she is alone and unsure, seeking a path through the grief, the disappointment, the sickness of body and soul.
