About the Book: When the answers to the most difficult questions are the ones that lead us to our truest selves, would you trust the outcome to a coin toss?
Twelve years ago, Harper Andrews put her law school dreams on hold during her mother's cancer treatment, changing the entire trajectory of her personal and professional life. Now a successful paralegal at a large Chicago firm, Harper's days at the office are spent supporting the very lawyers she once hoped to become. Meanwhile at home, she and her husband privately struggle to start a family. Though not her plan, Harper can imagine a future with kids and a home near her favorite park...sometimes. But when an unexpected opportunity offers a chance to revisit the law school dream she abandoned, everything changes.
Between the bustling offices of Chicago's legal world and the quiet, intimate moments of a couple struggling with the future of their family, Kate Laack expertly weaves a compelling story of ambition, love, the expectations we're willing to challenge, and the decisions that define our lives. While the Coin is in the Air is an instant winner for book clubs and not to be missed by lovers of heartfelt, women's fiction.
