A novel of one day, twelve questions, and the silences that nearly ended everything. Sophia and Beau LeBlanc built their life on quiet rituals—shared calendars, polite restraint, mutual ambition. But after years of slow unraveling, they find themselves seated across from a counselor, divorce papers unsigned, asking one final question: is there anything left to save? Is there anything left to save? What follows is one day. Twelve questions. And two people finally learning to speak the language of everything they’ve left unsaid—about love, regret, memory, and the slow unraveling of what once held them together.
Told through alternating perspectives and memory-laced interludes, The Marriage Audit is a lyrical, intimate portrait of a modern relationship at its breaking point. With unflinching emotional honesty, it explores the space between what we promise and who we become—and whether love can still be chosen when everything has changed. This is not a love story. It’s a story about love—how it falters, how it endures, and how it asks to be chosen again.
Perfect for readers who love:
-Emotionally layered literary fiction
-Relationship-driven stories with deep interiority
-Themes of grief, memory, infidelity, and quiet resilience
-The introspective tone of Mary Beth Keane, Claire Lombardo, or Dani Shapiro
Note to Readers: The Marriage Audit is not a fast-paced novel. It’s built on quiet tension, emotional excavation, and the kind of honesty that doesn’t come easily. It unfolds over a single day—but the real weight lives in the pauses, the silences, and the memories that surface between them. If you’re looking for a quick read with tidy resolutions, this may not be the right fit. But if you value character-driven fiction, layered emotion, and the slow burn of truth and tenderness—this book was written with you in mind. Part of a shared world with The Weight of Ash and Prayer—connected by family and legacy. Each novel stands alone. $0.99 on Kindle.
