How far would you go to protect a child… or save the sister who once betrayed you?

In Nazi-occupied Budapest, two estranged sisters are thrust into a world on the brink. Natalie, a celebrated children’s author, is calm, rational, and determined to survive. Anna, a once-brilliant poet, is unraveling under the weight of grief and loss. When a little girl is left in their care during the chaos of war, the sisters must confront their past—and make an unthinkable choice.

As bombs fall and persecution tightens, Natalie begins to write magical tales for the child—stories inspired by a mysterious woman known only as Mrs. Tuesday. But reality grows ever more dangerous, and Anna’s mental state becomes a risk they can no longer ignore. Natalie must decide: escape while she still can, or stay behind to protect the sister who may destroy them both.

Spanning decades and continents, Mrs. Tuesday’s Departure is a deeply moving novel about the ties that bind us, the secrets that haunt us, and the courage it takes to choose love, again and again—even in the face of unspeakable loss.

About this title

From the Author

I first published Mrs. Tuesday's Departure as an ebook on Amazon's Kindle a little over a year ago. It went well. But as the year went on, I felt that the book was not as good as it could have been. Which inspired me to take advantage of an ebook's fluidity, to make some changes and plan it re-launch. Mrs. Tuesday's Departure, in its original form, was quite a bit different from the book I published in some important ways: First it was written in the First Person Point of View, which gave it a much more intimate feel, which as it turns out, was the right POV for a story about a family experiencing the most terrifying moments of war. Second, it was actually set in Budapest, Hungary during World War Two, not in the fictional other-world it was thinly disguised as. And finally, it had a spiritual element that explored a particular element of religious faith that has always perplexed me....the challenge of believing in something we cannot see. With that in mind, a few months ago, I resurrected the original manuscript and set to work dusting it off and making a few changes, hopefully clearing up things that in reviews of the first Mrs. Tuesday release had caused consternation for some readers.
