Finding Tranquility Laura Heffernan

An impulsive decision. A twist of fate. A new life.




On September 11, 2001, Brett Cooper checks into a flight to go on an interview for a job he doesn't want in a city where he doesn't want to live. All to make his wife happy. He loves her, but he's not happy in his marriage. Or in his body.




As boarding begins, Brett panics and gives his ticket away. When the plane strikes the World Trade Center, Brett gets a second chance. Finally, he can live the life he always wanted. Brett embraces his "death" and disappears. For eighteen years, everything is peaceful and easy. Until Jess appears.






Jess used her husband's life insurance to go to medical school. Unfortunately, she's not really a widow. To complicate matters, Jess realizes that the love she held for her spouse is alive and well. The spouse who transitioned into Christa while they were apart.




Together, Christa and Jess must figure out what the future holds. Can love conquer all, or is it sometimes better to let go?

"Finding Tranquility is one of those rare books that manages to be many things at once. It is, as the cover states, a love story. It's also a sort of coming-of-age story, a finding-yourself story, and although it's still fairly recent history, a powerful historical novel as well. The story of Christa and Jess finding each other and finding their new places in each other's worlds should, like most of the author's works, appeal to fans of both women's fiction and romance." - Estella Mirai, author of The Stars May Rise and Fall



"Finding Tranquility is a powerful and deeply moving story. It brought me to tears several times and caught my heart strings." Laura Brown, romance author
